Eastern Sierra - Mostly NOT Fall Color Posted By Fred Lusk

Near the north entrance to the June Lakes Loop is this charming fixer-upper. A little paint, a little wallpaper, some carpet, some duct tape, and it will look like new. I promise.  BTW, when we got into the June Lakes area proper, the smoke was so dense that it resembled the San Joaquin Valley's winter Tule Fog but smelled worse.

Last one....

This fixer-upper also includes a delightful detached mother-in-law cottage....for your delightful detached mother-in-law.

Small Stuff from October and November Posted By Fred Lusk

This forum section needs a kick-start, so here is my attempt....

The first weekend of October, my wife and I visited the Eastern Sierra (Hwy 395 corridor) with a small photo group from our church.  The main purpose of this trip was fall color, but we were about a week too early for the best color.  Also, the Inyo National Forest, where many of the best spots are located, was closed due to smoke from the Creek Fire, which burned nearly 400,000 acres in Fresno and Madera Counties on the west side of the Sierra (unfortunately, one member of our group lost her home in Shaver Lake a couple weeks before the trip).  The secondary purpose of this trip was visiting the Alabama Hills (just outside of Lone Pine) for sunset/moonrise one night and sunrise/moonset the next morning.  (I already posted an image in the Digital SLR Astrophotography Forum from the first night of this trip and some landscape images in the Landscape Forum.)

Here is a pine cone....not just any pine cone, but a purposefully overexposed pine cone from Mammoth Creek Park in the city of Mammoth Lakes, California.
