The Home I Miss

I took this photo just half a mile from my old home. Mt. Tom and Basin Mountain tower over the green Owens Valley in the foreground and the barren Tungsten Hills and Buttermilk Rocks in the background early in the morning. Though there is still some snow left on the tops of the mountains, this photo was taken in summer time, if I remember correctly. I sure do miss it up there, in the Eastern-High Sierra, as I now live 300 miles south near Palm Springs, and plan to go back. It was not only my home, where I grew up, but is also a nature/landscape photographer's paradise.
