Snow on the Mountains

The last few storms have covered the higher mountains east of where I live in Northern California in a deep blanket of snow. So late yesterday before going to the movies I dashed down to a small hill that overlooks Willits and made a panorama of the Mendocino Mountain Range. Just as I was finishing up I had the feeling that something was watching me. I looked down the road to see a big black rottweiler slowly walking my way. Its tail wasn't doing the fast wag, wag ,wag but the slow determined I'm not happy you are here wag with a very angry face. Luckily I was closer to my pick up than it was to me and I wade a slow exit to my truck. Hopefully its owners don't leave it loose all the time because that was one big scary dog.This morning I photographed Snow Mountain off in the distance. If these snows keep up we are going to have some awesome spring wildflowers. God's precious love and blessings to all, chris All the images are from my Canon 7D mkII and a Canon 100-400 IS v. 1 lens. The panorama is eleven images stitched together. #teamcanon

Last Post of 2016

I have been away from my photoblog for quite some time galavanting around on a three city tour of Scandinavia. We visited Copenhagen, Denmark, Vaxjo and Stocholm, Sweden. It was Christmas time so there was an incredible amount of decorations up to light our way. I did a lot of night and long term exposure photography. At that latitude in December the sun rises at about ten a.m. and goes down around four p.m. and it doesn't rise very high in the sky. This will be my last posting of 2016. Here isn image of Nyhavn, Copenhagen. There will be many more images and details to follow over the next month as I slowly get around to processing all of our images from the trip. God's love and blessings upon a New Year, chris Many thanks to Jenny Senter of Celtic Heritage Destinations for organizing such a fantastic trip.
