Leftovers from the California gold rush. This is Malakoff Diggins. The mountain washed away in the search for gold, leaving a lake in its place.
 Not the main place we visited but a bit "to the right" through some bushes.

Autumn leaves (aka "fall color") near The Diggins. |

A very wet and dull day in Nevada City. We're in the garden of a B&B taking photos in the rain. That umbrella should give the roses a nice green cast. |

Fallen leaves on a path at the Nevada City B&B. Only slightly adjusted for compositional purposes. |

The weather continues, but here it is more picturesque. This photo taken from the Ridge Road into Alleghany, near the "No Jake Brakes" sign. I've since found out what a jake brake is, by typing "what is a jake brake?" into a search engine. There are web sites for this sort of thing! |

Earth mover at Alleghany. |

Logs in a yard at Shasta. I have several of these but the composition is never quite right - I'm not sure what the right composition is though. |

Mount Shasta topped by a spectacular lenticular cloud. This was a very difficult photographic subject with high contrast. There isn't enough detail in the mountain under the cloud. |
|
The best place to take a picture from isn't the most convenient. |

Sometimes the ghost of a headless photographer can be seen roaming the highways around Mt Shasta. He lost his noggin when hit by a bulk cattle feed truck as he was fiddling with his Rollei TLR. |
