Beautiful. Have you ever thought about having a show with your photographs?
I love to take them but likely need a better camera ( which I have always wanted) as I am just using an older Canon Powershot SD1000. I had thought this type of photo would play well to a show though.... Obviously with better organization and some better focus... Might try the monopod next time before the water gets too high... We hike alot, but we take a LOT of pictures- usually around 100-250 pictures per hike...
I often say about most others running, riding, walking and hiking that they are not really experiencing the visual wonders of the area, they are just passing through, while we are constantly looking at the experience of sight of our surroundings and we like to capture some of that in photos....While never the same as the eye and minds camera... it is a fair facsimile...
Most of the trees in this grouping are at the edge of the old road between Browns Ravine and Mormon Island... Seemed they were planted next to the old road.
I sure wish there were resources that would explain many things about the history of the area... like all the red bricks some showing a foundation but most spread out in one area here... and more info on the road itself ...
While I am glad that we are getting rain and the lake is rising for the need for water, I am a bit sad to see the water cover so many treasures that I would like to photograph... and so many unique areas that we will not be able to get to on our hikes.... especially since I never set foot on Folsom Lake until December of 2014....even though I have lived here since 2002...Over a Million steps and 243 miles of hiking just on and around the lake in the last 11 months...
Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.
