Thanks, Sam. Those rams are a part of an outdoor art park. A big landowner in the area commissioned a sculptor to make them. There are dozens scattered around the area, reached by dirt roads.

I'm not aware of any Civil War actions here but we do have our share of re-enactors here.
Sam Scribe October 12, 2011 at 5:43pm

Wonderful photos, Darryl. That image of the rams should be entered in photography contests.

Was there Civil War action here in California?

The number of times I've lugged a tripod along, and not used it are almost balanced by the number of times I've wished I'd brought along a tripod, and had to find a rock or something to steady the camera.

Now, whether I take a tripod or not, I usually have one of those little 'table top' tripods in my camera bag, just in case!

I certainly need a tripod for long exposures such as this.

One of my favorite photo effects is water motion blur.

This is not possible without a tripod, especially when using 20 or 30 second exposures.
