Gary,
Stunning image of Whitney. I’m planning on climbing it via the East Face within a couple years. Hope to get some decent images myself. When I first saw this image, I thought it was a painting, as the light you captured is quite unique. Great photo, my friend.
Oh, and btw, Whitney is 13 miles West of Lone Pine, not East as the caption states.
Again, beautiful image.
Thank you for the comments and the correction. Of course it is West. Thank you for catching that. I’ll make that correction, and good luck on your climb.

I’m in the Navy and onboard the USS Mount Whitney and we working on making our ship look better than she already does and after seen you picture would love to display it onboard. I was wondering how much will it cost a high resolution of this picture so we can frame it and display onboard. Thank You.
