Eastside Clouds

As I mentioned in my last post, when I went to the east side of the  Sierras the weather was somewhat unsettled. That allowed for some interesting skies. Leaving the hills above Bishop I encountered scenes like this. As I proceeded to the hills between Bishop and Lee Vining the sun started to set and  the storm clouds really started to form. I must have stopped a least 10 times taking photos  of the various cloud formations that were changing constantly. It seemed like everywhere you looked, front, back, left or right there were beautiful colors. As I neared Lee Vining some lenticular clouds seemed to be forming in front of me. Then I met George, you can see George's face, right? Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph Dave

Scott Valley and More

Continuation of my trip to Northern California. This time I went to Scott Valley, located west of Yreka after you go over the pass. As I hit the top of the pass, this is what greeted me. Knowing how cold it was I thought 'this is going to be a great day'. And it was! Everything was covered in ice, and blanketed with fog. I liked how this sprinkler just vanished into the fog. After I left the Valley, up and over the hill again I was greeted with this. I haven't gotten many chances to photograph lenticular clouds. You can imagine how excited I was, especially after having such a good time in Scott Valley. The small cinder cone to the left is Shastina, on the right is Mt. Shasta. A little while later, only the Lady had a hat. Go, See, Enjoy. Dave
