    Default Road to the valley

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This is a local spot called Grimes Canyon, just north of Moorpark, California. The little road drops down into the next valley at Santa Paula. Truckers drive big rigs over this pass. :eek: Captured just after a storm had passed through.

    Good call Kostas! I did indeed use a polarizer.

    Al, this is just a tiny little road with nowhere to go but down the road! I think they are nuts!!

    Nice shot Kerry. Looks like you are driving on the wrong side though( assuming you are in the passenger seat) :D Or its probably because of the way you cropped it.

    Kaustubh, I shot this standing on the side of the road to the left. The curve of the road makes it look like I am standing in the road, but I would not do that! I had to wait for a rare moment with no traffic. :)

    I love California too!

    Kerry, I meant to comment on this when you posted it, but I wanted to find out where it was.

    I found it on a website (waymarking.com) that lists places of geologic significance. Have you been there and seen the burnt shale? btw, I teach earth science.

    Julie, I have seen the shale there. The area is also known for decorative stone and aggregate. I have found plant fossils there as well.

    If I can muster the nerve, I'm going to post a different shot from there in the landscape forum...
