Alabama Hills Triple Arch - a photo on Flickriver

My wife and I recently moved to California from the East Coast, and our first trip here occurred over Thanksgiving weekend. We went to the Eastern Sierras and spent nights at the Alabama Hills and Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. I've visited the Alabama Hills a few times before (and have photographed this arch before too!), but this time it was very different. In 2012, I camped at the parking lot for Mobius Arch and hardly saw anyone at all. This time, there must have been a thousand people spread around the Alabama Hills. Every single pullout had someone camping in it. Truly, it has been discovered. Instagram has claimed another victim.

There were about six groups camped near this arch, so I placed the camera late at night and then got up at 4 AM to retrieve it so it wouldn't get stolen. Placing the camera was quite difficult, since I had the camera all the way back in the rock and was using a fisheye lens. I couldn't fit behind the tripod.

Mt. Whitney, the tallest peak in the continental US, is on the far left of this image.
