I will do another post for my Street Photography, soon.
After years of wanting to visit the huge balloon festival in Reno, I decided it was time to check it out for myself. The morning started out at 3:30 as the ballons begin to arrive.
As the crowds grow and the people arrive, the balloons begin to coordinate and glow together.
Sun soon rises and this added an entirely different glow to the balloons
Almost 100 balloons rise at the same time in a very impressive display.
Around 7:30am the event starts to break up and everyone begins walking back to the parking lot. This balloon hovered over the lake to give everyone a chance to take photos on the way out of the park.
During the summar months, Grass Valley and Nevada City are busy with street fairs and farmers markets. Below are some of my favorite street photography images of the summer.
I recently discovered this covered bridge about 20 minutes outside of Nevada City. The Oregon Creek is along the Yuba River in North San Juan. It is part of the Tahoe National Forest.
The bridge originally opened in the early 1870's and was totally restored in early 2018. I searched the web and found that the bridge was closed to traffic before it was rebuilt, because it was in such bad shape.
The rebuilt bridge uses some of the same wood that was used in the original bridge.
Under the bridge you will find a beautiful creek that is used for fishing and swimming.
This is a panorama made up of 5 images. Because my tripod wasn't totally level, you can see a little distortion in the bridge shape.
When you cross the bridge, you will find a large parking lot with bathrooms, park tables and a sandy beach that gives you access to this large open section of the river. You can swim and even use the rope swing.
Grass Valley and Nevada City have some interesting small town markets and grocery stores. Below are a few I have found, so far.
