I had been to Death Valley early this year, but had not realized the amazing beauty of the Eastern Sierra until now. After studying a little bit the moon schedule for June, I noticed that there was going to be a full moon with moonrise and sunset close to the horizon which could bring good opportunities to photograph the moon with the landscape, I decided to pay a visit to Mono Lake (for the first time), and also take the time to scout other surrounding areas. This visit took me to the White Mountains with its Bristlecone Pines, North Lake with its clear reflections, and the ghost town of Bodie. In summary, This was a really great weekend for photography, and the start of my coming trips to this area, as I didn't even scratch the surface of locations to photograph. These photos were taken during the weekend of June 29th to July 1st, 2007.
