Desert Mountains and Reflection, Morning

Desert Mountains and Reflection, Morning
“Desert Mountains and Reflection, Morning” — Panamint Range mountains, clouds and morning light, reflected in Lake Manly.

Here is another morning photograph on Manly Lake. I know — that is a LOT of photographs of this feature! But I had several beautiful mornings there this season, and each produced quite a haul of pictures portraying different moods and surroundings. At the moment I made this one, a band of light was striking a ridge descending toward the lake, while the foreground and more distant shadows were in muted light.

By now, those of you who follow my posts have figured out that I made quite a few photographs of Lake Manly on this partly cloudy morning.

That latter location is where I made this photograph of a juniper tree in front of a massive sandstone cliff face.

Big Sur Coast Near Hurricane Point

Big Sur Coast Near Hurricane Point
“Big Sur Coast Near Hurricane Point” — Late spring morning on the Big Sur Coast.

This is a bit of an odd post for this site. While updating older photographs and posts I was unable to locate this one. So I’m sort of semi/maybe/kind of reposting it. The photograph comes from almost two decades ago on one of my many visits to the Big Sur Coastline of California. This visit was on a late-spring day when fog was clearing from coastal bluffs and the surf was active.
