Just wanted to share a few more shots from my trip to The Alabama Hills the other day...

Thanks for looking!
 
Awsome pictures! The sky in the second one is surreal, and I really love the last one, too. Thanks!

Doesn't look like Alabama to me? Is that just outside Ozark or Dothan?

You kidding, or are you serious?

This is just outside Lone Pine, California. Not sure how or why they were named "The Alabama Hills", but they are at the feet of the Eastern Sierra, specifically, Mt. Whitney.

This is where John Wayne and Clint Eastwood filmed their most famous westerns. This is the home of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk". This area has been the backdrop for more spaghetti westerns, military maneuvres, and modern action flicks than I could even begin to count...
 
Great pics, Chris.

It is weird that they would be named the Alabama Hills. Probably some cool native american word with a really cool meaning.

Don't forget science fiction, many distant worlds were really Alabama Hills. The only good part of living in Independence was getting to play in the Hills (besides the haunted house I stayed in). I wish I got a chance to explore more or go to the ocean side of the state. I lived in California for seven months and never saw the beach.

Don't feel so bad...I've been here for 10 years, and I've seen the Pacific Ocean twice, and have never been in the water. Mind you I surfed back in NY...
