Winter storms finally arrive in the Eastern Sierra. This was taken yesterday morning before the high winds arrived.

The high winds fanned the flames of a fire south of Reno, which has destroyed 20 homes so far: www.standard.net/slideshows/2012/01/20/wildfires-burn-ren...

After a week in Death Valley with my kids earlier this month, I passed by Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park twice, once for the sunset moon rise, and the following night for light painting.

Unfortunately for photographers Yosemite has closed the pass in anticipation of Winter storms this week, but at least we may finally get Winter! This is the latest that Tioga Pass has ever been open.

This was taken at twilight over Lake Tahoe last night. This was an hour after the sun dropped below the horizon, as the blue hour was giving way to night, but there was still enough orange sunset light coming over the distant horizon to paint the clouds. It was stunning; what a great evening to experience! People stopped their cars from time to time to snap a picture, but no one else stuck around to watch the light evolve.
