Mammoth Mountain Sunset – Weekly Photo
Each Wednesday we post up a picture of something that we have found helps us get through the rest of the week. It could be just a relaxing beach, a surfing location, a great snorkelling spot, a destination, well you get the idea.
Where In The World This Week?
My first solo travel experience was at the end of University. I had just spent 3 years studying Environmental Science and needed to have break. I grabbed a flight, found a job working on ski field and jet-setted halfway around the world to Mammoth Mountain in California.
This photo was actually taken on my very first night I arrived. Very jet-lagged, exhausted, nervous and excited. When I looked up to the mountain I would be working at I knew I had made the right decision. It is still one of my favourite photos I have ever taken and just happened to be the right place at the right time.
Where does this photo take you when you look at it?

We have been wearing out our jandals (Kiwi slang for flip-flops) on our travel adventures around the world since 2009. We love all types of adventures that make us step outside our comfort zone, in comfort, including surfing, skiing, snowboarding, diving and cruising on our bikes. You can find out more

I love the colors of the clouds and the snow-capped mountain. A photo to truly be proud of. Great shot!
Thanks Sherry. It was even taken with a crappy point and shoot camera so was really lucky to get such a great shot. Perfect timing in m opinion (not through any skill of mine)!

Stunning capture indeed! Reminds me of Whistler at night in winter!
Any mountain town is beautiful at night time! Love all the lights and now and usually the skies are clear from light pollution
