For my fellow skywatchers who drops in this site once a week, I am still running a series on my road trip from memorial day 2008, which is a road trip of highway 395 from Carson City Nevada to Yosemite NP via Tioga Pass.
This was the end of our second day. After a long day driving, we arrived at our destination for the night, Mammoth Lakes. It was late May and we were staying in a lodge just outside the mountain. It was snowing when we arrived.
But on the village as pictured here at 8 pm there was just snow flurries. This is the village (shopping, eating, etc). Pretty deserted on off season and just after the holiday. We replenished our energy by downing some huge portions of pub grub at the Auld Dubliner.
Then we called it a day, finally.
Skywatch is a weekly meme for sky/cloud lovers. Go visit this site for more skies, and clouds, and more.

Beautiful! I would have bet this was a European village!
Beautiful picture, thanks for posting it.
Great post.
Beautiful place. I'd say it'd be far nicer without a lot of tourists around for getting great shots like this one.
That looks like a great place to visit. I like how you captured both the town and the sky so well.
I guess you had a great pubtrip too ;) Gorgeous sky :)
At the end of a long hard days travel this looks a fine place to stop and recharge.
Lovely pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
Snow on Memorial Day. What an alien concept.
Then again, around here snow in general is an alien concept.
I know the focus of this shot is supposed to be that rather grim looking sky, but I love this whole scene. Beautiful capture!
I love the colours of the sky and street complementing each other, and the whole streetscape is gorgeous--thank you for choosing this one to share!
This is a delightful capture, and I do like the clock...
I had to take time out from Sky Watch to check out some more of your post... you have an excellent blog here my friend ... it's nice to get told that sometimes. :O)

That's a really beautiful place! Lovely photo!
What a beautiful location! Snowing in May? Oy, glad I wasn't there at that time of the year!
Great post, beautiful shot, thanks for sharing!
beautiful places!
It does look like someplace over in Europe. Great picture. =) Hope you have a wonderful day.
I am enchanted by this photo. I really am. Beautiful.
this place looks amazing! It has a magical feel. Haha.
it is a nice village pic. it has this mystery effect on it like those in suspense thriller or horror movies. nice capture..
Cute village but the photo below is breathtaking!
Really amazing images
Great picture!
I thought this was a shot in Europe, it has the look in it. I like the clock pointing up towards the sky. Perfect photo catch!
Although modern it looks a bit like an old medieval town in Europe.
When I first opened this I thought it was in Europe somewhere. :)
I love the perspective of the shot.
I scrolled down while I was here and really enjoyed your last few previous posts - awesome images.
wow, this looks like it came out straight from a movie. i am loving the mood. you know, i find it hard sometimes to comment on your photos, i just look at them and enjoy the moment. i am a fan of the clouds and the sky and they usually make me speechless, you know what i mean? it's just that, sometimes, saying something spoils everything. but then again, i had to say something so that you'll keep throwing us those lovely shots. :-)
mary poppins!
i've been staring on your photo and cant figure out which movie...
hehe...
I thought you were going to tell us you had made a detour to Europe.
The town looked beautiful but deserted at 8 pm. I guess the cold winter keep everyone in. Have a nice weekend and keep warm.
This place looks creepy with a dark cloud up there.
Great photo...the buildings lead the eye up to the sky... love the clock tower...
A pretty village! Looks like a fun trip.
Pretty town, and great photo. Win-Win.
Cool shot and that meal must have been welcome after the long trip.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This looks surreal! Very cool...I love the "dark" town and brooding clouds.
Lovely photo catch! Reminds me of the small villages we came upon in Europe this past summer!
The sky's light is so strong and subtle in contrast with the clock's. Lovely shot.
Interesting dark weather.
This is beautiful Maria. I like the idea of twilight for this photo. Looks to me like an old town from Europe.
Looks like a lovely place to stay (for one day:-)). Very nice picture!
It's really picturesque this deserted village (I like the clock). Wonderful photograph!
Thanks for your visit to my blog and the comment.

looks like an interesting place! it doesn't look scary but it reminds me of a stephen king novel.:D
I love they preserved the village buildt houses with a mountain style chalet.
Love the paved street too.
Tha Sky is a mountain sky at sunset. It was certainly cold even in MAY.
looks creepy but seems so peaceful for me :D. Happy SWF!
Interesting =)
Fantastic, these swirling clouds.
It's almost as beautiful as the one in your previous log. :-)
Have a good weekend!

It does have a very eerie feel, especially with the lowering clouds. I've enjoyed my visit here - some spectacular landscapes.
Good pic and color. have nice SWF weekend
What an awesome shot of a dramatic sky. I really love the angle and perspective of your photo!
A great perspective Maria. The sky is terrific!
