If you've read Cruztalking for awhile, then you know that I like the drive along the Feather River. We took that drive yesterday for a quick trip to Reno (no, we did not win a thing). Fall has come late to the river too. But, more surprising was the stillness of the water. The Feather River does not flow swiftly, but it does flow. Yesterday, it was like a millpond. The reflections were wonderful.
Along the way, we spotted an old mine entrance...at least that is what we think it is. Since millions of dollars of gold were mined from the Feather River, way back when, it's not unusual to see some remnants from the past. Still, we've been driving the road for years, and we have never seen this entrance before. Maybe it was hidden behind the greenery, which is slowly being shed as winter is approaching
On another topic--I was playing with the 5 X optical and 20 X digital zoom on my new camera. This was our view from the 12th floor of our hotel. I took the picture through the window without a tripod. The G-11 does a pretty good job but it cannot remove the smog that fills Reno's air.
