The iconic picture at Silver Lake. Thunder Mountain catching the last rays of
the sun in the early evening. This
mountain can turn any number of colors over the course of the day. I hoped to recreate the illumination of the
mountain popping out.
Today, Denniis and I went on a hiked down the Silver Fork of
the Consumnes. Easiest hike around, you
just drive down to Hwy 88, cross the road.
A small trail takes you to some great granite potholes lining the
river. Last year, they opened the
floodgates of Silver Lake to take some pressure off af.ter the record snowfall and the river
raged. This year, much quieter. We figure we hiked about a mile down and a
mile back. The hiking sticks make all
the difference for me, it’s like having two extra legs as I have balance issues
on uneven territory. Beautiful views,
I’ll have some great pictures tomorrow.
But today, we can have the dying beams of the sun over
Thunder Mountain
