The Alabama Hills

Southern Gateway to the Eastern Sierras

Seventy Five Images as of 10/17/2003 -- More to Come

Sunrise on the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California, as seen from Highway 395, which stretches from Mexico north to the Canadian border. Named by settlers not for the State of Alabama, but rather, for the Civil War-era raider, the C.S.S. Alabama -- a ship that terrorized Union ships on the North Atlantic -- the hills are known for the many battles that occurred here between settlers and the Paiute nation.

Situated not far from the Manzanar internment camp, they are considered the portal to Mt. Whitney -- tallest peak in California -- and to the Eastern Sierras.

Sunrise Over Edwards AFB

Sunrise, as seen over Edwards AFB, California, Saturday, October 25, 2003. Sunrises in the Mojave Desert are usually a spectacular affair, but made even moreso by the amount of smoke in the skies from ongoing wildfires in the mountainous wilderness areas near Edwards.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is experiencing foggy conditions this week as a thick marine layer moves over the coastal areas and into some of the neighboring valleys.

Though the overcast usually makes photography difficult, the condensation trails caused by moist air travelling at high speed through openings in deployed wing devices and flaps make for an interesting display in the turbulent wake of the giant jet airliners, like these two Fed Ex Boeing MD-10PFs "Package Freighters" on short final to landing at LAX Runway 25L.

Los Angeles International Airport will be the subject of an upcoming Photo Gallery at AirlinersAirlinersAirliners.Net, a subsidiary of Images of Light Internet Press Service (ILIPS), the parent company of Silver State News Service (SSNS).

"Like A Storm In The Desert..."

A nighttime display east of Pearsonville, California, off US Highway 395 near Red Rock Canyon. Lightning filled the sky over the Mojave Desert, including cloud to ground, in cloud, cloud to cloud and only the second occurrence of "chain lightning" the photographer had seen in his life. How to make it stop? Get out of the car and try to take Lightning's picture. Works every time!
