Alabama Hills, California.

I spent a couple of nights camping among the rock formations of Alabama Hills, one of the most recognizable landscapes along California's Eastern Sierra. Finding a campsite wasn't easy, as the area has become increasingly popular, but the scenery made it well worth the effort.

As the evening came to an end, the last sunlight illuminated the distant peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including the Mount Whitney area, while the warm tones of the desert landscape remained in the foreground.

It's a pretty incredible place to spend an evening, with one of the most dramatic mountain backdrops in California.
