The Minarets

Photo courtesy of Andrew Seigler. Today's picture features a breathtaking view of The Minarets, a rather distinctive series of jagged peaks located in the Ritter sub-range of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. Photographer Andrew Seigler created this stunning image by combining five exposures, all of which were taken from the highest point of Mammoth Mountain. The Sierras are quite famous for their stark beauty and perpetually snow-capped peaks, and they offer countless opportunities for photographers to capture some of the planet's most gorgeous vistas and share them with the world. In today's picture Mr. Seigler has managed to create a true masterpiece. You will find more of Andrew Siegler's amazing photographs in his Flickr gallery.     Visitor Comments...
