The weekend began with the scenic drive on Highway 80, climbing up the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The train speeding up the track next to the highway seemed to mimic my thoughts, my soul; take me higher, take me away. The little towns of Auburn, Penryn, Truckee; the area called Blue Canyon, ever higher as we moved up the mountain.
I flung the curtains of the room open to see what surprises might be on the other side of the window
The view straight ahead, and to the right spoke to the glory that only the Universe is capable of creating
I stood and watched dusk descend, and knew that the ever-changing scene would begin again tomorrow
So beautiful Angeline! A room with so many views – love it!
Happy weekend!
Thanks Anne. Hope you have a restful weekend.
Sierra Nevada is gorgeous through you lens! I like the 6th shot.
Thanks Amy. The 6th shot has a lot of feeling in it for me too.
Wow.. Thanks for sharing.. There is so much beauty in this country and you did a great job of capturing it.
Thanks so much Marcus. I’ve got one more post coming to wrap it up, stay tuned.
Gorgeous! The landscape is breathtaking and definitely a sweet way to enjoy the day.
Thanks E.C. At first I was bummed because there was no really good place to walk around to near this hotel, but the window view was just fine
So many beautiful shots. If I could, I’d cross the mountains again and again and again. I’d never tire of it and would always be inspired.
Thanks so much John. We go at least a couple of times a year, and it is a great source of inspiration.
Amazing landscapes!!
The Sierra are incredible! Thanks for stopping by.
I liked best the dusk scenes.
Thanks Vera, I think those are my favorites too.
I like that contrast between the orange train and the trees (and their shadows).
Thanks for stopping in. I love this shot taken with iPhone.
Lovely trip and sights. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos and experience.
Thanks Imelda. I have part two coming up… The gritty view.
