Melvin

Melvin! 73 years old, riding his bicycle with a cup of coffee in his hand
and a cigarette in his mouth. He had stories to tell and some wisdom to 
impart. He said that if I didn’t take his photo he would be offended! I’m
happy I did. Thanks Melvin! The photo was made with a Lomo LC-A 120 
and Kodak Gold 200.

Along the Sacramento

The Tower Bridge in some nice late afternoon light.
Opened in 1935, it’s eye catching and a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
Sunset on the Sacramento!

Gaylor Lakes

The Gaylor Lakes trailhead is not far from the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite. It’s a 
short, steep climb to the top. Then a short, steep descent to Middle Gaylor Lake. We
only saw two people (from a distance) the entire time we were at the lakes.

We had lunch and walked around both lakes. This is Upper Gaylor Lake. The elevation
is over 10,000 feet. I love the desolate but beautiful scene.

Mono Lake

I got up early one morning to catch the good light at Mono Lake.
As the sun peaked over the White Mountains in the east, the Sierra Nevada glowed in the west. 
The tufa towers, formed when fresh water springs containing calcium bubble up
 through the carbonate rich lake water, looked other worldly.
Even the dry desolation of the area looked beautiful in the early morning light.

Diners

The Sixth Street Diner in Los Banos is a great place to fuel up on a road trip.
Unique decor and breakfast served all day!
Nicely’s on US Route 395 in Lee Vining in a classic spot. They have a special every night and an extensive regular menu. The food is pretty good and the customers better! You’re not in Santa Cruz Jonny!
On the return trip it was Happy Burger on California State Route 140 in Mariposa. The burgers were enormous and the staff was happy!
