Sunrise, Eastern Sierra from the Owens Valley near Bishop, California I was driving back to town after spending a couple hours photographing the sunrise from a vantage point above the Owens River. These clouds and the light on the mountains caught my eye and I quickly took several photographs out the window of the car. The light was gone before I could get out and explore more closely.
