Mt Tom 2003 or 2004

This is a view of Mt Tom in Bishop, California, where we used to live, on the other side of the Sierras. This picture was taken from a vista point on the 395 near Paradise, I think--on the way to Mammoth. After a good snow.

Mt Tom was like a friend to everyone, the landmark, and we lived at the foot of it in Rovana, a small mining town whose mine closed. We could see Mt Tom from the bedroom window. Rovana's streets names' first letters spelled out vanadium. Our house was white, uninsulated, and had an old-style heating system. Rovana's a thousand feet higher elevation than town, so we were at about 5100 ft. Isn't this a nice picture?
