Frozen Trees at 6000 Feet

El Cap From The Valley Floor

Cresent City, CA – Lighthouse

1911 1920 Liberty Thermionics

This the last in a few from the North Coast of California (just south of the Oregon border). One of 2 lighthouses located in the strangely quaint and quiet Crescent City, CA. We took a trip to Yosemite last weekend to get a visit in before the tourist season kicked into high gear (and the waterfalls dried up). I’ve been…
