Mammoth Road Trip (3 of 3) – Morgan Phillips Photography
That’s Convict Lake in the first shot. There are metamorphic roof pendants visible in that mountain on the right side of the shot that are more than 450 million years old.
The photo reminds me of two things: Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, and the winter day in 1990 when we were living in Mammoth and heard that three teens and four would-be rescuers had drowned after breaking through the ice on the lake.
It’s a beautiful place, especially in the colder months when no one is there. But it’s a sad place, too.
