I suppose all you LUGs out there know that the 1939 movie "Gunga Din" was mostly shot on location in the Alabama Hills, standing in for the Himalayas. Also, parts of 1941's "High Sierra," starring Humphrey Bogart. Dave Kinchen" Dave, thank you for your kind comments. Yes, the main drive through the Hills is "Movie Road"; the town of Lone Pine hosts an annual movie festival that reprises films shot in the Hills; every restaurant in town has a gallery of studio stills on display (and prints for sale); and I made several of my b&w images (04, 05, 06) within a stone's throw of the plaque that identifies the location of "The Temple of Gunga Din". Thanks for looking, Oliver
