quarry #2 8x10

Looking across the middle fork canyon at the Cool limestone quarry. When my sister and I were kids we always thought this would be the perfect spot to use a the entrance to the Mines of Moria should anyone ever film The Lord of the Rings. I guess no one told Peter Jackson.

The Auburn Dam has been a contentious topic in Placer County for over forty years. This is a view of the site from the overlook.

bridge construction 10x8

I rode my bike out tho the site of the new bridge below Folsom Dam this afternoon. The sun was pretty much right behind me so there aren't a lot of shadows helping to define the forms of these hills. I think the flatness of the light emphasizes the geometry of the neutral toned dirt piles and that's what attracted me to this scene in the first place.
