Fossil Falls...

...while heading for Bishop for fall colors I stopped at Fossil Falls, never been to this location before but it was worth the stop. Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, located in the Coso Range of California. Volcanic activity in the mountain range, along with meltwater from glaciers in the nearby Sierra Nevada, played a role in the creation of the falls. They are located near Little Lake, Inyo County, California, 1 mile off US 395 (at a red cinder cone called "Red Hill") on Cinder Road to Red Hill, with signs to Fossil Falls. It's a short walk from the parking lot to the falls. The "falls" were very impressive (no water fall) with slick black rocks, bright yellow brush scattered throughout the landscape and southern Sierra as a backdrop.

Beautiful lighting. You must've had just enough cloud cover for the fg to be so evenly exposed. Great composition as well. Really love how the fg leads you right to the mountains and cloudy sky. My only concern is the patch of dark blue sky on left - I would lighten it a little - IMO would seem more natural. Great image.

This looks very nice, Reno. I echo David's comments. The blue in the sky looks fine to me.

The yellow bushes are Rabbit Brush.

Nicely done, Reno. I have always wanted to wander through there, but never made it. I like your take on the place. I would also agree with David and PB about the sky.

I've been there once, but I didn't have good light like this.
Good capture; thanks for sharing, Reno.

I still have yet to go here. nice image Reno!

Cool spot. Never heard of this location but I will put it on the ever expanding list. Nice work!
