Highway 108, The Sierras

By -
 A bunch of us went up Highway 108 in search of fall colors and the turning of the Aspen Leaves.
I found a lot of interesting things to photograph, even a few Aspens.


We'll start out with some Aspens, these are in no particular order



At first I thought this might be a butterfly, but the antennae says it's a moth.
Did you know that the Sierra Nevada's have fireflies. I didn't.



The Oaks were also full of color



Who doesn't like backlit Aspens



I didn't title some of the flora. I spent a lot of time looking up names,
 much to no avail.



I spotted this single leaf on a fir branch



I liked how the fallen tree led your eye to the one growing on the hillside.













And one last photo of the Aspens, note the snow on the hillside.


Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph

Nevada Northern Railway

  My brother and I took a quick trip to Ely Nevada to visit the Nevada Northern Railway. A long drive there but well worth the trip. Three of the Iconic structures are the Coaling Tower, the Water Tower and Water Spout. Unfortunately only the Water Spout in the foreground actually is in working order. We were lucky, of the three steam locomotives only #93 was working.  The others were in the shop being worked on.  A week or so after we left #93 went down as well. Minor problems but we lucked out Hey, I like doors and I can't resist an old red one, on an old red building The sun was quite bright and allowed me to just catch the top rims of  these wheels They're very accommodating at the shop and allow you to walk around. This Steam Wrecking Crane works and they use it when necessary.   Just some of the many containers used in the shop. More shop stuff, I just liked the way the light hit this table This is one of the smaller lathes. They have one they can turn RR car wheels on. N

Old Chemung Mine and More

Went to the Eastern Sierras the other day. Our goal was the Chemung Mine. There was also a lot more to photograph. I changed some to Black and White, like you wouldn't notice that.   The contrast of the Aspens and old mining equipment caught my eye. Most of the Aspens were already leafless,  but still photogenic. After the Chemung we went to the Masonic Mine, not nearly as many relics there. But since it was a little chilly the nearby creek provided some nice crystal shots. Maybe a road we'll take next time.  Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph. Dave
