Yosemite and More

 As I mentioned in my previous post I went on a quick trip to the  Northern California Coast. My last post was of the flowers I saw. This post is of other stuff!! Go, See, Enjoy, Photograph and Stay Safe Dave

 As usual I only had a little time on the North Coast, it always seem I  have someplace I have to be. Normally I go straight to the State and Federal  Redwood Parks and skip the coast itself. This time I stopped at a lot of the beaches and parks along the way. I think I hit it just at the right time for flowers, I only knew the names of  a few so I just lumped them all under one label. Go, See, Enjoy, Photograph and Stay Safe. Dave

 Red Rock Canyon is a California State Park off of Highway 14 in eastern California that I didn't spend enough time at, wanting to get to my final destination of Death Valley. The area was once an inland lake and was filled in with sediment from the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The movement of competing tectonic plates pushed up to reveal the various layers. The red comes from the rusting of iron ore in some of the layers This one reminded me of a bunch of people holding up the roof. This is a good one to show the 17° angle of the tectonic plates.  Obviously changed to black and white. I like how the lower rock is worn away into a pattern  leading up to what looks like a castle on a hill. Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave
