The Eastern Sierra offers some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in California, a favorite for landscape photographers. Highway 395 runs north through the pastoral Owens Valley near Bishop, with the towering Sierra Nevada to the west and the Inyo and White Mountains to the east. This unique topography creates some of the most dramatic sunrises and sunsets in the state.
That morning the light and color were unbelievable. I positioned myself in the valley hoping for something special, and the alpenglow lit up the Eastern Sierra peaks in amazing pink hues. It was one of those mornings when everything aligned perfectly.
This photograph captures that special sunrise moment when the light hit the mountains just right. Bring this Eastern Sierra beauty straight into your space so you can enjoy it all year.
