October Experiences in the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While taking in views at the Mobius Arch Loop Trailhead and looking to the east across eroded rock formation present in this part of the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area. Of the most prominent arch and formation is that of the Heart Arch in the upper middle center of the image. My thinking in composing this image was to capture a view looking across the eroded rock formations leading up to this one particular arch. The peaks and ridgelines of the Inyo Mountains would then be that distant backdrop along with blue skies to contrast the earth-tones present in the lower portion of the image.

One Day at a Time in the Alabama Hills by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Mobius Arch Loop Trail with a view looking to the east across a desert landscape and then hillside of eroded rock formations. This is in the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area. The backdrop of mountains is part of the Inyo Mountains on the eastern side of Owens Valley. The Heart Arch is probably the most recognizable one in the image middle, left of center.
