At Ellery Lake, the waterfall accented a mountainside of snow. I'll spare you the sound track on this video--it would blow you away!
Since a lot of the scenic places I yearn to shoot were obscured in clouds and low mist, I went to the ruins of the Chemung Mine for a change of pace. I guess this is what happens years after the ore runs out! http://www.ripleysghosttowns.com/chemung.html
There are a lot of strange people in California...
The ruin from the ground is big and definitely ruined. The snow adds a final macabre touch. I'd like to come back in bright cheerful Sun and get the buildings with the distant snow-capped mountains to the West as background. No chance of that today. It rained for a while soon after I took this picture.
Despite the dangerous weather and wind I couldn't help putting the Phantom up to take a look from above:
Beggars can't be choosers. We shoot what we can, when we can. I'll add a 'Farewell to Chemung' for my buddy who keeps recommending these places.
It is pouring as I write this. Perhaps I shall have a hot toddy while I enjoy my fireplace.
Hoping to see the Sun again one of these days. Waitress, about that order...
