Whitney Portal

One of the best places we got to visit during the photography workshop was Whitney Portal. Whitney Portal is the parking lot for all those that want to climb Mount Whitney. We arrived in the parking lot and walked 5 paces and there was this amazing waterfall surrounded by amazing Fall colors. During my pursuit of the best photograph I climbed all over that waterfall and a couple of times risked life and limb (well at least falling in it and getting wet). What was nice is that I had about 90 minutes to capture a photograph with other like minded souls.

I love all your photos, but this one is exceptional. It is better than a postcard; it is almost like being there. Have you ever been to Forest Falls? Aaron took us there and it is certainly worth the drive and the short hike. It also strikes me as being one of California's "secret" natural beauties. In all the years that I have lived here, I had never heard of it, and it is so close. Check it out, but watch out for snakes and bears, and above all, don't fall on your butt and break your tailbone as I did. (Oh, I forgot, you are also fascinated by snakes--shudder, or should I say 'shutter?' ;-) ). Well, watch out for the bears!!
