How the Sierra Came to Be

Here's a very interesting article from the SF Chronicle on the genesis of the Sierra Nevada range. It presents new findings by a team from Stanford that shed light on the beginnings of the Range of Light.

The shot is one of the tarns near Tioga Pass. It was made in June of 2006 on a trip with Michael Gordon. Astia 100-f, 4x5.

Thanks for the post, Preston. That was an interesting read. Beautiful image, too. I love these shots from the Sierra in the spring/early summer where the snow is melting off the peaks...

Nice image and good link. The image almost looks as if it has a slight green cast to it?? Good image, though. I like those tarns along 120.

Thanks for the link! A good read cause it wasn't too long and involved....
