Malakoff Diggins 10x8
I finally got a chance to get up to Malakoff Diggins. This place was suggested to me by a blog follower from Germany who had spent some time in Sacramento and the surrounding foothills. I have to say it was a great suggestion and I'm looking forward to making the trip again. Thanks Reinhard!

Really nice painting, Craig~ ya gotta be careful when you paint there. I nearly stepped in a bear poop - they're all over the place.
If you haven't already, the museum in the little town there has a short film about the history of the Diggin's. The sheer scale of its destruction and repercussions is absolutely mind boggling. And so close to home, too~
Thanks Terry,
I didn't step in any poop :-)
The Diggins are pretty cool. There was a lot of destruction there but it sure is a dramatic landscape and it is nice to know that people can do the right thing eventually. I'm looking forward to getting back out there.
Great painting of a great place. I'm glad you didn't step into a poop ...
I am back to Germany and enjoying your art every day! Thank you once again.
Reinhard
