Dramatic Sunrise On The Minarets

The Minarets with dramatic sunrise light and perfect reflections in the calm waters of Ediza Lake.

The Minarets form one of the most striking and serrated skylines in the entire Sierra Nevada. That summer morning, a band of clouds created dramatic direct light on the jagged granite pinnacles as they reflected beautifully in the still waters of Ediza Lake.

This large collection of sharp spires rises abruptly from the landscape deep in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Ediza Lake offers one of the finest viewpoints, placing the viewer right at the base of these impressive peaks during sunrise.

This photograph captures that serendipitous moment when light, clouds, and the spectacular Minarets aligned perfectly with the calm reflection. Bring this wild Sierra Nevada beauty straight onto your wall so you can enjoy it all year.
