Monochrome Lone Pine Peek - a photo on Flickriver

            I know.  It's a play on words using the homonym.  

Mobius Arch in Alabama Hills is an oft chosen frame through which to view the Eastern Sierras, specifically Lone Pine Peak and Mount Whitney.  

Whereas Mount Whitney is the tallest mountain in the contiguous 48 United States (14,505'), it is deeper in the Sierras than Lone Pine Peak (12,944'), and thus not as impressive from this vantage.  In fact, Mount Irvine, the peak to the right of Lone Pine Peak in this image, which appears significantly lower, is actually taller than Lone Pine Peak by nearly 1000'!

This image was captured at first light, when the sun had not yet cleared the Panamint Range to the east.  The indirect light created an ideal (IMHO) condition for a rare monochrome image of this feature.
