Alice and I just finished a two week road trip. Our first stop was Manzanar Japanese internment camp in the Owens Valley. Origami Cranes in the visitors center.
It was cold and very windy. Not many visitors chose to explore the outside areas. Manzanar is a powerful reminder of a shameful period in US history.
Found this one on an unfinished roll of Holga film. The photo was made on the return from a winter trip to Yosemite, California State Route 140, near Catheys Valley.
