Mount Whitney from Alabama Hills

Seriously… I didn't touch the saturation on this one at all as the colors were so ridiculous. I want to goose it, but even +5 saturation makes it look fake-city.

I must say, when you get clouds to the east and the sun reflects off them… BEAUTIFUL colors. At leas, IMO :wink

Excellent capture. Great light! Looks like there's snow in them hills already.

Thanks!

That snow was likely from a storm that was there a couple weeks before we were (in mid-September). Though, up at 12,000+ feet, I figure there's probably nearly always some snow up there?

Good point. I believe Whitney does keep some snow year-round now that you mention it.

Nice shot!
Yep....I can attest to the snow year round. I climbed it one July many years ago. We were run off the mountain by a snow storm above 12,000 ft.
