I post this to dispel once and for all time the notion that I don't like wildlife photography.

Okay, this is just a processing process, but the air in our valley has been putrid now for days on end as a result of the large number of forest fires burning around the state. Leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, sore throat and headache as well as itchy eyes. I thought I was tough and those things only bothered sissies. No end in sight. Drought, deluges of rain, violent storms, dieoffs, algae blooms, extinction of species...... is this the new normal?

NOTE TO VASSILIS: The building behind the restaurant is a church. Though you should know. lol

On the way back into Fresno I knew that I was going to get pretty good color in the sky, but I was running late and didn't have a location picked out. I was driving through near Kings River and stopped as soon as I saw the sun. It was just about to go below the horizon, so I pulled out the tripod and set up in about one minute. I was able to frame this shot and get a pretty nice sunset.

Playland has been around for 70 years but is now closed permanently. I remember taking my kid there in the seventies and my grandchildren there much later.

This was taken in the foothills outside of Fresno. I loved the view with these two solitary oak trees on this farm property. If you look at the background, you can see that the Sierras finally are getting some snow. Lets hope that it keeps on coming.
As I was driving around outside of Bass Lake, I took a side trip to the Kelty Meadow Campground. I saw some snow on the ground in the shadows and thought that might make a nice landscape with the meadow in the background. One of the shots I was trying to take was this dome feature. When I was walking around the campground trying to find a good view, I came to this location and was surprised to get such a good view of the Fresno Dome. Of course, I broke out the camera and starting clicking different framing of this landmark. This was my favorite of the day.
The Kelty Meadow Campground is unique in that it was designed for camping with horses. They have hitching posts and fencing around the campgrounds to keep the horses close to camp. There even was a large watering trough for the horses. It's a pretty cool campground.

This little lonely school sits out in the vast open plains. A result of another railroad town drying up.

This is the newest trail in the state park system. Beautiful.
I've had to replace this photo with a higher-resolution image because Flickr's sharpening ruins it. Sigh ...
