ALABAMA HILLS Photo Gallery by Tomasz Dziubinski

ALABAMA HILLS

and Sierra Nevada Mountains

Alabama Hills are a "range of hills" and rock formations near the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Owens Valley, west of Lone Pine in Inyo County, California.

Though geographically considered a range of hills, geologically they are a part of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alabama Hills are a protected habitat.

The Alabama Hills are a popular filming location for television and movie productions, especially Westerns set in an archetypical "rugged" environment.
Since the early 1920s, 150 movies and about a dozen television shows have been filmed here, including Tom Mix films, Hopalong Cassidy films,
The Gene Autry Show, and The Lone Ranger. Classics such as Gunga Din, Springfield Rifle, The Violent Men (1955 film), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955),
the Budd Boetticher/Randolph Scott "Ranown" westerns, part of How the West Was Won, and Joe Kidd.

More recent productions such as Tremors and Joshua Tree, were also filmed here.
In Gladiator, actor Russell Crowe rides a horse in front of the Alabamas, with Mount Whitney in the background, for a scene presumably set in Spain.
Star Trek Generations was filmed here in addition to Overton, Nevada and Paramount Studios. This range was one of the filming locations for Disney's Dinosaur.
More recently, many parts of the films Iron Man and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen were filmed here.

I grew up here and played here as a child over fifty years ago. Thanks for bringing back some of the most enjoyable times in my life.

You always manage to create such unique and creative images of places that have become so trite from over exposure. You are not just a photographer, but an excellent artist.
