We had stopped in Lone Pine for the night, on our way to Tahoe, so we could get up early to shoot the Alabama Hills arches in the best light. Unfortunately, that morning, the sky was blue and boring. On our return, we were headed to Death Valley for a couple days, but hit stormy weather. When we got back to Lone Pine, I decided to take a detour to see if we could get good shots with dramatic skies. I was able to get this shot of Lathe Arch as one storm passed and another was headed our way. Lathe Arch is relatively small and easily missed. From this perspective it looks HUGE! I think it was worth the side trip! I hope you agree.
