Morning Light on the Tuolumne River
We were only there for 2 mornings, but this is what it look on each of them. The water was so clear you could generally see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was (granted it’s late summer and the water isn’t really that deep, maybe 20 feet at the most). More than…

Tuolumne River
All along the trail the water flowed down the granite slabs as it has done for thousands of years. In many places the granite is so worn by the flow of the water that it looks just like the sand on a beach as the waves retreat, the solid rock taking on the shape of…

Tuolumne River Rapids
Surprisingly – to me at least – the river was strong, even in mid-august. All along the trail from Tuolumne to Glen Aulin the river rolls down long slabs of granite creating rapids that stretch on for hundreds of yards. This spot was just below the Glen Aulin campground. The contrast of the 3 different…

Burney Creek – Burney State Park
Just past the waterfall a stream forms and carries through the valley off into the woods. I climbed out into what became a precarious position and made this image. The total exposure was about 1 minute with a light(ish) neutral density over the lens. If it weren’t for the mosquitoes i could have stayed out…

Feather River Dam – Detail
Here’s another shot of the Feather River Dam. The original image can be seen here. The dam is pretty cool. There’s not really a whole lot going on there. The dam sits there and i assume the water that was flowing through it was just a little bit of overflow or something as there’s no…

Burney Falls – Burney CA (Take 2)
This is another of the frames of the Burney Waterfalls that i took back in late May. It’s similar to the first one i suppose. I can’t really decide on which i like the most. The falls are pretty cool and i’d recommend that you visit if you’re in the area. From the parking lot…

Mt Lassen State Park – Kings Creek
We took a hike down Kings Creek in Mt Lassen State Park. We were there during the last weekend in May and there was still snow all over the place with several roads through the park closed down. I made this picture by jumping over the stream and onto a small island in the middle.…

Sierra Nevada Mountains – PG&E Dam on the Feather River
Diving along the Feather River is a pretty cool experience. You can follow it for quite a while, 50+ miles if i remember correctly. The road trades bridges with a railroad line that runs parallel, sometimes above, sometimes below. There are a bunch of dirt roads that allow access to the railroad tracks, and even…
