Not far from the famous Folsom Prison made famous by Johnny Cash is the Folsom Rainbow Bridge which spans the American River as it flows through Folsom California. Also known as the Greenback Lane Bridge, it was built in 1917 by Ross Construction Company of Sacramento California and designed by Drury D. Butler it spans 208 feet. A concrete arch bridge with a great amount of aesthetic and stylistic detail in the design.

The Folsom Local makes its way out of Roseville with UP 1004 on point. This GP60 still wears its Cotton Belt paint and makes for a familiar scene in Roseville as it passes the Tower Theater.
This week's theme of the Happy Caturday group is "Song, movie or book" and after pondering the theme for a whole week Tofu chose "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash. :)
I add another capture in the comments.
Happy Caturday !
This is Folsom's new bridge, taken a couple weeks ago.
It was not a good weekend in our household. We had to put our 12 year old cat down, I learned I will be losing my job in a few months, and I have a crappy cough/cold. Ugh. Hope yours was better.
You can read more about all this on my blog.

The Folsom local shoots out of Roseville and snakes through the yard. The train will spend the night switching industries along its route and return to Roseville early in the morning.
Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me
"Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
Just got back from a fantastic three days of non stop photography down around the Cooma area with my mate Paul. The conditions were amazing from 6:30am each morning, right throughout the days, and into the evening and early night.
First image from the trip. This is the old Maclaughlin Meatworks, nestled in amongst the hills. I climbed up onto the old railbridge over the road below, and shot this comp around two in the afternoon.
Hope you like "Folsom Prison Blues"
Cheers, Mike See less
The dam at Folsom Lake used to be much more accessible, the two lane road that took drivers over the Folsom Dam ala Hoover Dam fashion was closed in February 2003 weeks before the Iraq War began as the dam was identified as the 63rd California ranked target LAX being number 1. It forced all the traffic through the old Gold Rush streets of Folsom from that time until today as 23 years later the dam remains off limits for security reasons. This image that I captured on my Apple iPhone 13 Pro is probably the best image I have of the entire dam, taken as my Palme from Sacramento International Airpot made it ascent upward towards the east. A roadway was eventually built downstream to alleviate the traffic and when the actual assessment is looked at, while the Folsom Dame doesn’t hold the most water even in the state of California, if the dam were comprised, it would affect and disrupt a very large metropolitan area with 500,000 people in its path and 40 billion in businesses, home & infrastructure at risk.

Every spring, when the rolling hills and oak trees of the Sierra foothills are briefly green, I love getting drone shots at sunrise when the low angle of the sun casts long shadows and bathes the landscape in golden light.
Every spring, when the rolling hills and verdant oak trees of the Sierra foothills are briefly green, I love getting out with the camera to capture the fleeting season.
These rocks are part of the old gold-mine tailings along the American River in Folsom, Ca. I don't know if the pebbles on the larger rock were placed into dents, or if they're started to wear tiny potholes into the larger rock. Rocks do that along rivers, but this is rather above water level.
I took this image in the spring of 2013. The lupine display was nicer last year, at least in terms of fuller displays, and fewer bare patches. The problem last year was the sky was completely uninteresting, during my visit. Seeing this, I decided not to wait around a couple of hours for sunset, but instead just take in the view before driving home.
Before leaving, I took a shot of the scene to help me plan for a return trip this year. As the wind was mostly calm, I selected a ten second exposure, to obtain enhanced color and smoothness in the water. It took a while for me to add this image to my website and post it here, because the shot felt a bit random. However, even if not overly interesting, I used Capture One software to help me process my image and get the most out of this pretty field of lupines; one of many that lined the banks of Folsom Lake, during the spring of 2013.
