magnifica! i solitari hanno sempre un loro perchè..

I lived in this neighborhood as a child. I guess it's not a neighborhood anymore...

Terrific Photo, Makes me proud to live in Nevada County, CA

very nice!

its actually dead man's grove. There used to be a mine bellow the pond. One day they did some bad blasting and quite a few Chinese mine workers died that day. We've called it dead china mans grove for years. Which just got shortened to dead-mans.

very nice area, i enjoy driving out here often. nice pics. sorry to clog up you comments.

u can view it on my page if you like

The pic you commented on was a combo HDR / Panorma.

look in your cams options and see if it has auto bracketing... it will take 3 snaps with different white balance... then you use a tool to combined them in to one pic. in the process of combining the 3 snaps you can adjust the saturation of colors and white and black points... many of my images are right out of the cam but some are HDR pics. you can look it up for better explanation.

Your pictures are beautiful. How do you get your colors to pop that like? Do you need special software or a camera?

Great composition, colors and perspective...
