Up River

Here’s a view looking up the Sacramento River from Diestelhorst Bridge. I was there later in the evening that I should have been for this shot so I converted to gray scale and colorized. One on to save a decently composed but not too well exposed photo.

River’s Edge

One of the coolest things that I’ve discovered along with my renewed insterest in photography is the fact there are so many beautiful places close by. I just never got out and really looked at what was around before but now I am amazed at what I can find within minutes of home. The Sacramento River I am sure will be an almost unending source of photos for me. Not only are there so many accessible spots along the river but it is winter now and other seasons will follow making many spots completely new.
Redding has a fairly good system of trails along the river and I still have many miles to explore. Some I have been along before but now with an eye to what beauty might be there. The biggest hurdle I face now is having to the time to get out and explore these places.
