The White mountains are actualy considered to be part of the Great Basin and NOT part of the Sierras. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is found within the Inyo National Forst portion that resides in The White Mountans
** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"
- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)
- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.
