Fence line(s)
In the mountains between Weaverville, California, and Redding, California, is not a place where you’ll see a lot of people. Which was its appeal, of course. Well, that and the views of mountain ridges and forests and every now and then a red barn.
And, if you’ve taken the Ono-Igo cutoff on Highway 36* at Platina at the right time to be along here in the afternoon, you can see this very nice fence and its curvy patterns making shadows on the road.

*I really like how that sounds.

The backs of things.
Sometimes they are better than the side, or the front, as these views of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church show.
(It wasn’t just this church: here’s the back of St. Mary of the Assumption Church, in Megargel, Texas.)

Clouds and the saddlery
I don’t list this on my resume, but I am actually a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society. I have a certificate and I keep a copy of the cloud collector’s handbook in my car.
That way, for example, when I am in Alpine and see these clouds, I can quickly identify them as altocumulus clouds.

church
Another view of this church, taken on the same day, over a year and a half ago.
I just went by this place at Christmas, and it looked about the same. Maybe a few more shingles have blown away, and perhaps the building’s succumbed to gravity just a tiny bit more. But, mostly – the same.
Only this happened, and it’s not the first time: scenes that I’ve photographed always seem much smaller when I see them again. What’s with that? Also this: I shoot in color and convert to monochrome. But once I’ve converted a photo, I have very little (or no) memory of what the colors used to be.
(My mind: it’s scary in here.)

The beast on the wall
Maybe this is one of those times when there’s nothing I can say that will add anything to the photo….
