A River flowing slowly between the golden meadow with low clouds sitting on the mountains in the background.Some black cows were eating or resting on the meadow.
I found this is one of the most beautiful place in mammoth, the Owens river.

Look at how huge the cloud is! It’s hard to see this kind of cloud in LA. It might be able to hide a sky castle in it like the one in Miyazaki’s animation movie?
With the previous day’s hike and one night sleep, I felt I am well adjusted to the altitude. Today we planned to go a bigger hike.
We came to the same trail head again. Today we got up much earlier and got a closer parking spot, but still surprised to see so many early birds took the closest parking already.
[singlepic id=364 w=320 h=240 float=left]The trail forks not far from the trail head and keeps going up quickly. Then we stood way beyond the lakes and had a great view of them which we past by yesterday. Ah, the names are really after the shapes. Box lake has a square shape. Here you see the Heart lake. The shape is just like a heart!

Our turn around spot was Mono pass which is at 12,000 feet elevation, the ground is rocky and sandy, almost no plants growing, the scenary is more like moon surface.
Finished movie “the cloud atlas” this weekend. It was almost 3 hours long, contains 6 sub stories crossing different area and time. i was completely lost in the first hour since scenes switch fast between the 6 stories. But it still remain interesting to me and i didn’t not want to stop.
Many famous actors are in this movie. Like Tom Hanks. He has multiple roles in there, some are greedy and evil, some are with great heart willing to help others. It must be a interesting movie for him to play.
There are still many unanswered questions in me even after finishing watching it. It’s a complicated story and the underlying thoughts is deep too. Does it want to say what ever we do, it will affect others and.people in the future or it is taking about afterlife, reborn. Or maybe both.
Anyway it is a very interesting and good movie.
