Nice control of your values and atmo perspective. For where you are headed, I think of pines, meadows, blue tarns and lots of granite. I've hiked all of them at one time or another with Touloume being a perenial favorite.

We're heading for the Mammoth Lakes, June Lakes, Mono Lake area next week. With my traditional day trip into Tuolumne Meadows (Yosemite) to paint along the river there.



Not sure where Garnet Lake is. I seem to remember a lake by that name from one of my backpacking trips a little west of Mammoth. Are we close?

Beautiful photo! We are packing out of Red's Meadow at Mammoth Lakes and climbing about 2000 feet and eight miles in to Garnet Lake. We will be along the John Muir Trail. I will drive by and wave to you!

Wow! Hope the mountains you are going to will be as nice as these!

Very nice piece. Love the pines and the reflections. I can feel the cool!
