Funny … no matter how long the trip is, the return is faster. Returning to California over Hiway 108 and down through Sonora was a familiar and yet strange trip. Ron and I had been on the route more than thirty years ago as newlyweds. So while it was familiar, it was also new to us.

The photos posted are near the summit of the road…going up we ascended a thousand feet in less than a few miles. On the trip I shot the same scenes several ways…will use the photos as part of the composition lesson on the rule of thirds and horizontal and vertical framing. How many ways can you frame the same scene? What details can you pick out that would make another image? What can you see that your audience might have missed?
