last light on sierras - a photo on Flickriver

last light on sierras

            i got to the town of Lone Pine right around sundown, and drove a little ways up the road to Mt. Whitney, as far as the Alabama Hills, to catch the last sunlight on the crest of the Sierras 

i think Mt. Whitney itself (highest mountain in the lower 48 states) is out of the frame, off to the right & set back a ways, i don't think you can see the peak from the road...  i didn't want to drive further for fear of losing that last light

incidentally, i scratched the hell out of my left foot trying to get this photo, i stepped accidentally into a rather tough bit of sagebrush -- still have a scar from it, a month later!  ah, how we suffer for our art...
