California Through the Windshield

California
May 2011
Entering California from the lower third of the state one sees a combination of mountains and
desert.
The scenes through California speak for themselves.












Note: in the middle of this photo is a bald eagle perched on a ledge overlooking the river. Fish for dinner?
 As one travels farther north the trees become taller and taller.

Coastal redwoods. The Avenue of the Giants was an incredible drive. We tried photographing the canopy made by these magnificent trees, but they blocked the sunlight and none of the shots was successful. The tallest redwood is 115.6 m or 379.3 ft.!

Getting nearer our destination: Humboldt State University, Arcata, California.
