San Benito county, Calif., June 19, 2016. Looking northwest. Hills of the Gabilan range in the middle ground, the town of San Juan Bautista in the valley to the right, and Loma Prieta the highest point on the horizon. Watsonville and the coast are well beyond the tree, just about where the sun is setting. Elevation is a little over 3,000 feet, a few hundred feet lower than Loma Prieta, 30 miles away.
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
Well I've never prayed, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now..."

California Quail seem to be very abundant in the Central California backcountry. We found this male in nice late afternoon light while prowling back roads in VERY rural San Benito, CA. He was not perturbed by me using the car as a blind.

Here are some rusty structures from the ore processing area of the mill at New Idria mercury mine in San Benito county, CA, now a long forgotten ghost town. If you have ever dreamed of escaping to your own personal paradise, alone in the dark, where the only critters trying to attack you are ones that can tolerate the extreme toxicity of the air, soil, and water, THIS may be your place.
There was a concentration of chemical fumes on this spot that caused my eyes to water and even induced lightheadedness after awhile. I suspect something in the stream of water or soil, but I had to move away after 20mins of shooting some frames.
As I was shooting this, the aggressive caretaker was searching for me, so I dropped to the ground and hid until he passed. This went on several times over a couple of hours until he finally caught me returning to my truck, shone his beam on me and very kindly and invited me to "Get the __ out!!". I had to assume he also had his firearm trained on me, so I cheerfully acquiesced.
Lens is the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. 272sec exposure for the foreground and a composite of 206 30second star trail images, representing nearly 2 hours of the Earth's rotation. Did you think the stars are white? Well, they definitely range from warm to cool, which explains the various colors apparent in the streaks. Neato! All oblique light on the structures is from the full moon.
Thanks for looking. For the full effect, dim the lights and press L on your keyboard now...if you DARE!!
Serie al final.

En plena Sierra del Suído, en estas verdes carballeiras nace el Río Cubelo, que más abajo pasará a llamarse Río Valderías y dará lugar al Embalse de Albarellos en el Concello de Avión.
La ruta parte del depósito de aguas de Caseiro, que está un poco antes de llegar al pueblo y baja hasta el río, siguiendo su descenso por el margen izquierdo ...... hasta llegar a una pontella de piedra rota por el arrastre de las riadas, por la que se debería cruzar al otro margen, ya que el sendero baja inmerso en un precioso bosque de ribera, pero nosotros por no descalzarnos no lo hicimos. Seguimos ruta por el margen izquierdo en una cota más alta.

The San Benitos Sparrow (Passerculus sanctorum) is only found on the island of San Benitos off Baja. It was once treated as a subspecies of Savannah Sparrow but it is larger with a relatively bigger bill. It occupies a different habitat and has a different breeding season from mainland birds. Here's a Savannah Sparrow with a small bill for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52410761711/in/photolist It is most similar to the Belding's race of Savannah Sparrow which occupies saltmarshes on the Pacific coast of California and Mexico. But Belding's Sparrow is rufous in colour and has a long, narrow bill. San Benitos Sparrow is classified as near threatened because of its highly restricted geographic range, and because there are concerns that the introduced Cactus Mouse (Peromyscus eremicus) could impact on the population. Needless to say, I photographed this San Benitos Sparrow on San Benitos Island off Baja.
Esta pequeña Iglesia de San Bieito do Campo, está situada en la plaza de Cervantes.
Su origen es medieval, pero antes de terminar el siglo X, el moro Almanzor la destruyó.
A principio del siglo XII es reconstruida, en estilo románico, por el arzobispo Xelmírez.
A final del siglo XVIII, se demolió completamente la construcción románica.
El nuevo edificio, sigue los cánones del estilo neoclásico y es como lo vemos hoy.
Su fachada, austera, dispone de un semiarco sobre dintel que permite el paso de luz al templo, un frontón triangular y campanario.

I had been hoping to see some bobcats this trip, and on our second day here, there was one right in the middle of the road while we were walking around. They are wild, but the ones here are used to humans and not afraid, and this one passed within 6 feet of me! Seen while camped at San Benito Thousand Trails, south of Hollister, California.
