Convict Lake is on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada’s and north of Bishop, California, USA. Mount Morrison has the appearance of a cardboard cutout, a very unusual appearance.

Convict lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City, Nevada. A posse, led by Sheriff Robert Morrison, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Morrison was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him.

With all the beauty that exists in the Country, my goals, at this point in life, are to go out into Nature and capture it’s splendor with my camera and produce photos to share with other Folks so they can enjoy it too ~ Lynn
