The East fork of the carson river and its many fingers play a large role in Carson Valley. The sunset was rather spectacular this evening as well.
This Victorian mansion was completed for timber baron William Carson in 1886. it is now home of the Ingomar Club. I restored the photo recovered from a film roll taken in 1988 by my wife Diane.

The gray granite of Carson Peak looms over the colorful aspens along Rush Creek.
The recent storms in the area put an end to almost all the fall color in the area, but there was still some yellow left in the river and water areas. This is the Carson River outside of Genoa. Genoa is the oldest settlement in Nevada, and it has a lot of history. This was a place for travelers on their way to California to resupply and take a break in the 1850s. Some of the original buildings are still standing and there is a museum where you can take a step back into the past. Worth a side trip if you get into the area.
This was taken in the late afternoon as the sky cleared up, and the sun came out. In the morning, I had high winds and gray wet sky. On my way back to Hope Vally, I drove down this road because a few trees that still had fall color. I think I got lucky with this sky after the crazy weather I had all day. Pretty good location to end the day.

An old dam on the Carson River in Nevada. Complete with old machinery. A beautiful example of nature retaking the land.
This is part of the view from the Gloucester-Nowendoc road where it crosses the Great Dividing Range of eastern Australia. The route is part of Thunderbolt's Way named after the bushranger Frederick Ward who was known as Captain Thunderbolt. Eric Carson constructed the road in the late 1950s to provide access to and from rich hardwood forests in the area. The lookout commemorates his efforts.

Thank you everyone for your views, comments and faves. Much appreciated.
Now this is something new for me.. I used Wombo Dream to make the first picture using the Carson Mansion as my starting picture.. Then Photoshop to resize it because it was shaped like a Cell Phone.. Using Photoshop crop with content aware enabled to change it to the landscape ... Then I used a MediaChance App to make it larger and Luminar 4 to give it the beautiful blue sky... I got a lot more windows than I started with but it was an interesting learning experience... Happy Windows Wednesday, Everybody!!

On my 46th birthday, I set my alarm at 4am to capture sunrise over the Carson River before a morning of aspen photography. The sunrise color turned out to be a bust, but worth getting up for this view of the colorful autumn willows along the river's edge, and thankful for another trip around the sun! www.optimalfocusphotography.com
Stormont estate on a cold 'n frosty morning. The mist was a nice bonus...
This shot made Explore (#110) on 24th December, 2009 - thanks everybody! :-)
Feeling antsy in the house on New Years Day, I threw the camera bag in the car and just drove, not sure if I was going to capture anything, and happy just to be out. As the afternoon wore on, the low angle of warm winter sunlight against a cool backdrop of clouds looked promising, so without any forethought or planning, I just hopped out of the car on the side of the road to witness the changing light on the distant peaks of the Sierra, a beautiful beginning to 2021. This is a pano of 8 vertical images.
There are two sno parks at Carson Pass, Carson Pass and Meiss Meadow. Either one will take your breath away. Literally; I was taking five steps and then doubling over to catch my breath.

"We don't do reenactments - this is how we live," he told me. He has lived in teepees for years, though the one he had set up here was a Plains variety, not like the local Miwok. His group (about 20) teach about at the early years of California's white exploration and settlement, and they were at the fair to recruit a new generation of enthusiasts.
