Thank you Forrest!

Hello Tim,

You've posted some lovely landscapes... despite your claim to be mostly a portrait photographer.

The compositions and tonality of the images are very pleasing.

I hope you're as pleased with your landscapes as they are beautiful !

A couple more from this trip:

Tim I would have to say you nailed the "landscape" and weather of all the shots you posted. They are all beautiful.

Location Maps No. 1, Owens Lake Access
Where: Lone Pine, CA
When: Weekends or weekdays after 5pm due to construction
Cellphone reception: Yes
Access: Passenger car unless muddy
Safety: Stay on dirt roads
Hazards: Quicksand, air pollution (dust), high temps during summer and thunderstorms

At Boulder Creek, exit 395. Cross the cattle guard at Boulder Creek where you'll see a dirt road on the south side of Boulder Creek. Head east on the dirt road and then turn right (south). If you've crossed the Old River, you've gone too far. See maps No. 1 and 2. Once on the lake, dirt roads criss-cross everywhere. Explore, enjoy...

Laura, thanks for posting this. Can you briefly describe what to expect at Owens Lake (what makes it a destination)? I've been in the Hills many times, it feels like it's my home away from home. Please continue to post more location info if you can.

Thanks,
Denny

Owens Lake is one of my favorite locations even to just sit and soak in the landscape. The lake offers 360-degree views and every direction is marvelous, particularly during weather. (Stand in one place and rotate your camera.) There's much to explore on the lake. Water reflections of the Sierra and Inyo, and during winter, ice ponds. There are salt formations similar to those at Badwater. Sprinklers! Algae fields that are deep pink, rose, or orange in color. And lastly, expansive cut-patterns on the lake bed (dust mitigation). Owens Lake is beautiful and surreal.

Video short (at 0:15 are thousands of hay bales placed to mitigate sand and dust impacting Keeler. The bales have instead caused mice infestation in Keeler.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhkAGEqn6k

Digging up an older thread, anyone thought about making this trip again around the same timeframe in 2017?
