Mount Whitney Sunrise
Winter sunrise over mount Whitney and the Sierra Nevada mountains as seen from the Alabama Hills, California.
This is a location that is better photographed in winter/early spring. Besides it not being 110˚ F as it can be in summer. The main reason is that the winter sun rises further towards the south, which creates better patterns of shadow and light on the mountain ridges than occur in summer. And then there’s always something nice about the day’s first light on freshly fallen snow. I find in summer this scene can also appear slightly ‘tired’ and dry, for lack of a better description.
