Very nice sky shots in this thread!
----------------------------------------------------------
Here's a "reach out and touch the clouds" shot taken from the trail nearing Mt. Whitney, around 14,000' or so. The clouds were whizzin' right over our heads, what a feeling!
One of those fiery sunsets that we've all seen in the High Sierra (but they don't happen often enough!), this one over a lake in Pioneer Basin, John Muir Wilderness. The colors happened so fast (I was actually taking pictures looking the other direction!) and they disappeared so fast that I didn't really have time to get the composition I really wanted, but still, it captures the beauty of the sunset.
Another Pioneer Basin sky shot.
Soft pastel sky from the... ... overlook, oops as usual, I'm not saying "where" in regards to the location. Some places are just plain secrets.
This was a beautiful sky one evening while I was camped at Muriel Lake just over Piute Pass.
Some cool lenticulars over Mono Lake (couldn't get the tufa tower to move out of my pic, ha!)
I really liked this sky as I made the final ridge to Forester Pass from the north. This is looking back north from wence I came. As you can see, I use my fishing pole as a lightning rod. It worked... it took several direct hit lightning bolts that otherwise would've fried me. I didn't even lose a step.
As most of us have who've been to Mono Lake have seen, the place is infested with incredible skies at sunset. We could probably fill this thread with just cool Mono Lake sky shots. In this shot, God was doing some last minute sweeping before He ended the day.
This was kind of a cool sky, taken from a bluff in the Sinkyone Wilderness, Lost Coast, late afternoon.
This is almost a "typical" High Sierra afternoon sky... deep blue with happy, puffy white cumulous clouds.
Like I said, Mono Lake rarely fails! This time a hawk or osprey flew into my pic unexpected (10-second timer, I had nothing to do with it, ha!), which really added to an already cool sky.
Sorry, I was only gonna post a couple shots. I like the sky in this shot because of the weird cloud shade against the sun beams. This is Evolution Lake, looking towards the outlet.
"Sun" flower, looking up at the sky from an ant's perspective, a black ant, which is my favorite fly to use for Sierra trout. Everything always comes back to fishing.
Hmmm... another Mono Lake sky shot. Well I'll be. This is Starship Enterprise coming in for a landing, well after the sun had set. It was cool, I had dinner with Cap'n Kirk.
As if creation isn't beautiful enough, God is always adding to it with amazing skies. Great thread idea!
