Mount Whitney, California, USA
This stunning photograph, taken from the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, captures the majestic Mount Whitney and its neighboring peaks at sunrise. The foreground is dominated by large, rounded granite boulders characteristic of the Alabama Hills, leading the eye upward to the rugged, snow-dusted Sierra Nevada mountains. The highest peaks are bathed in the soft, dramatic light of the rising sun, which paints the clouds above with delicate pink and purple hues against a muted blue sky. Mount Whitney, standing at 14,505 feet (4,421 meters), is the highest peak in the contiguous United States and is located in the Sierra Nevada range on the boundary of Sequoia National Park and Inyo National Forest in California. Its imposing granite structure was formed by ancient magma cooling beneath the Earth's crust, followed by immense uplift and carving by Ice Age glaciers.
