Everyone who has been to Lone Pine on the way to Death Valley has stopped and grabbed this shot – except me – until now.

I must have been too busy watching birds to notice the scenery! Lone Pine is a wonderful place–spent a great night camping at the Sierra Crest trailhead
in the early ’80’s. The rock formation looks like a weathered pelvic bone–a la Georgia O’Keefe. This would be great as a postcard or in a calendar.
Lovely potd.

Beautiful picture. I’ve never been to Lone Pine but if I’m ever there I will “remember” this spot as if I had seen it with my own eyes before, thanks to you!

That looks like the scene in Star Trek, where that device shows them portals to the past worlds. Bones injects himself with something by accident on the ship and jumps though it.

This is my first time to see a photo at that location, and I really like it.
It’s perfectly framed, and the lighting is wonderful!

Mike, Thanks for the Star Trek comparison! My son said The Original Series episode is entitled “City on the Edge of Forever,” and the portal is called “The Guardian of Forever.” Through “The Guardian,” they go back in time to Earth in the 1930s. Great episode!

And as Spock would say about the photo: “Fascinating.”

I have never seen this place before; it shows two types of geology in the same area… interesting… or even fascinating.

Even though its rock, the flow of the stone has the feel of a twisted ribbon.
