California's Eastern Sierra

California's Eastern Sierra offers some of the most spectacular mountain scenery and landscapes in the state, and it's one of the most popular regions for landscape photography. Highway 395 is one of the most scenic drives in the country, running north from the Mojave Desert through the pastoral Owens Valley, with the towering Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the east. This unique topography creates some of the best sunrise and sunset opportunities in California. This was one of those rare mornings when the light and color were almost unbelievable, the sky lit up in vibrant hues as the Sierra wave clouds caught the first rays. Limited edition fine art print available, bringing this Eastern Sierra sunrise magic straight to your wall.
