NOTE: The watermark in the lower right corner will not appear on purchased products.
In Northern California, a few miles south of Dunsmuir along interstate 5, lies one of my favorite state parks, known as Castle Crags. My wife and I stopped in the park for a picnic lunch after visiting my family in Oregon. Inside the park a narrow winding road takes you to a parking lot. A short trail leads to a spectacular vista point where you can get a clear view of the crags, as well as a peek at Mt. Shasta which stands several miles to the North.
The crags overlook the upper reaches of the Sacramento River, which snakes its way through a lush gorge on its way towards Lake Shasta.
For this shot, made on May 15th, 1998, I used my trusty Tamron 80-200 zoom lens with a polarizer to darken the sky for dramatic effect. This panoramic image was digitally stitched from two overlapping negatives.
