Jim Collier > Quite a bit of snow. This was a side road off hwy 80 not too far from Blue Canyon, CA, which is often listed as the snowiest city in the US--averaging 240 inches of snow per year, almost twice as much as second place Marquette, MI (depending on which list you go by).
Jim Collier > This was taken just off of Hwy 136 in California, which borders Owens Lake. Owens Lake is nestled between the Sierra Nevadas to the west, and Nelson Range to the east. It was supposedly sucked dry by the water demands of Los Angeles. I can say it was mostly dry.I am not superstitious, but this place, nestled in between two converging minor desert highways--had something strange and disorienting going on. Maybe it's because it is directly between Mt. Whitney--with the highest elevation in the lower 48 states, and Death Valley--the lowest elevation, which are only 76 miles apart.Or...maybe it's just that I had been driving for 16 hours straight without a break except for hiking up a 2400 ft. mountain in Death Valley. Anyway, this is a really neat area with lots of diverse things to see and do within a small radius, and lodging in Lone Pine just to the north.Approximate coordinates: lat 36.529307, long -117.912438. This shot is facing approximately N/NW, with a full moon. The exposure was short enough that the stars didn't blur much, but long enough that the blowing clouds did.

Jim Collier > Mounds and Milky Way, with nougat filling and coconut cream topping.An un-retouched photo, besides some contrast enhancement.This is the remarkable thing about Marin County, and the GGNRA in particular: smack-dab in the middle of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, you can find complete and total peace, utter silence, and darkness so clear and complete that you can see by starlight.It can get so dark here, that you can see the Sagitarius area of the Milky Way (the center bulge) in the summer, which is no trivial thing in large metropolitan areas especially at northern latitudes.
