Travels
Above West Walker River
Took the long way home via HWY 108 from Nevada through Sonora, CA. This is Leavitt Meadow and the Walker River below.
Honoring The Fallen
Taken last Fall, my friend Gail plays Taps at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Gail was also of member of our Armed Forces – 14th Army Band (WAC).
Erratic Boulders
Geology . noting or pertaining to a boulder or the like carried by glacial ice and deposited some distance from its place of origin. Taken a few years ago, these erratic boulders can be found just above Nevada Falls.
Cool Spot in the Slot
This is near Mono Lake, CA. Went out there last fall with the pups. Here’s my dog resting in one of the cool slots
Fallen
I took this shot last Fall at Crater of the Moon in Idaho. This fallen tree had probably stood for a long time. It probably was anchored for another few years before it finally toppled. But, even after it fell it made for a good shot.
Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway (State Route 1), 5 miles (8 km) south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot (35 m), white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains a large number of public visitors.
The lighthouse and the land around have been preserved as Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park, a California state park. The lighthouse is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and designated as a California Historical Landmark.
