Winter in the Valley

I looked for reflective water sources in the Bishop area to incorporate into images for some added interest. This was literally a drive-by shooting. I decided to head south out of Mammouth early one afternoon after seeing lenticular clouds forming while I was cross country skiing 50 miles north of Bishop. I saw the water pool from the highway, and composed using the wonderfully backlit scrub. I slipped under an opening in a barbed wire fence near the roadside - I obviously was not the 1st to photograph here.
