A view of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range from the Rainbow Trail located in the Taylor Creek Visitors Center U.S. Forest Service located in the City of South Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, California U.S.A.
Sierra Nevada, also called Sierra Nevadas, major mountain range of western North America, running along the eastern edge of the U.S. state of California. Its great mass lies between the large Central Valley depression to the west and the Basin and Range Province to the east. Extending more than 250 miles (400 kilometres) northward from the Mojave Desert to the Cascade Range of northern California and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada varies from about 80 miles wide at Lake Tahoe to about 50 miles wide in the south. Its magnificent skyline and spectacular landscapes make it one of the most beautiful physical features of the United States. Biologically, it is home to the largest trees in the world—the giant sequoias. As a recreation centre, its year-round facilities prove a magnet to the inhabitants of the huge urban areas of California, and it has considerable importance as a source of power and water. It was the focus of the celebrated California gold rush.

This is my 1000th post on Instagram and I’ve lost count on Flickr. April was Photography month in California, my sweet & thoughtful damsel discovered that our local Nevada County Camera Club was holding a series of photo walks in Nevada County as part of the celebration of Photography month, and we were able to join 2 of out 3 and in doing so I was introduced to NCCC. This image of California Highway 49 which intersects Nevada City, the county seat of Nevada County California, the heart of gold country, was taken on the Broad Street Bridge. Nevada City was incorporated in 1850, originally called Nevada which in Spanish means snow storm. Its name was changed to Nevada City after the territory to the east of Nevada absconded its name. Congress created the Nevada Territory in 1861 and in 1864 became the 36th state using the Nevada which the residents of the city of Nevada resented and added the City to distinguish themselves from the new state that ‘stole’ their name. Nevada City is considered California’s best preserved Gold Rush town, with its entire downtown where we were shooting our images registered as a national historic landmark. @nccameraclub @visitnevadacity @nevadacitychamber @nevadacountyca - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography @siruiimaging

I'm on my last couple of days in SW Nevada, based in Carson Valley. It's one of my favorite places which I try to visit annually. Here is one of their barn owls shown against the beautiful mountains to the west of the valley.
Somewhere in Nevada is not as enticing as Somewhere Over the Rainbow, yet I found the trees lining the Truckee River to be quite beautiful in their elegant fall attire. There's not much else happening in this remote spot--passing trains are definitely the highlight of each day--contemplating one's navel is also high on the list of rewarding tasks.

Virginia City developed as a boomtown with the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode, the first major silver deposit discovery in the United States, with numerous mines opening. The population peaked in the mid-1870s, with an estimated 25,000 residents. The mines' output declined after 1878, and the population declined as a result. As of the 2010 Census, the population of Virginia City was about 855, and that of Storey County was 4,000.
Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States, measured by water capacity.
The reservoir serves water to the states of Arizona, Nevada and California, providing sustenance to nearly 20 million people and large areas of farmland.
Lake Mead receives the majority of its water from snow melt in the Colorado, Wyoming and Utah Rocky Mountains.
At lower water levels, a high water mark or "bathtub ring" is visible in photos that show the shoreline of Lake Mead. The bathtub ring is white because of the deposition of minerals on previously submerged surfaces.
The lowest water levels each year are usually reached in late June or July, after water managers have released the yearly allotment of water for farmers and other cities farther down the Colorado River watershed.
