Mirrors of Mammoth

Mammoth Lakes in California, is a photographer's dream, especially when it comes to its serene lakes reflecting the quiet beauty of the Eastern Sierra. The still and clear waters of these lakes provide a tranquil canvas for those seeking moments of calm and visual simplicity.

Photographing the lakes in Mammoth Lakes is a study in capturing reflections. From the glass-like surface of Twin Lakes to the mirror-like symmetry of Lake Mary, these bodies of water offer a quiet backdrop for the surrounding landscapes. The stillness of the lakes enhances the clarity of reflections, creating a straightforward and unembellished visual narrative. It is truly a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime sort magical place.

Chasing Cascades at Kings Canyon

In the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California lies Kings Canyon National Park, home to a captivating array of waterfalls. These natural wonders, much like the ancient sequoias in neighboring Sequoia National Park, possess a unique charm and grace. We visited the Roaring River Falls, with its small pool hiding among the cliffs of the valley, and Grizzly Falls, which tumbles more delicately over rocky precipices covering a greater height. I unfortunately did not manage any good photos of the Mist Falls because, as the name suggests, my lens was completely sprayed by them and the trail did not afford a large enough distance for a dry picture!
