[First, apologies for the long absence. I think that every blog in the universe includes that apology at some point, followed by this excuse: I've been pretty busy lately. I will have another post up by Thursday evening.]

This photo was sent to me with the following location tag: the east side of the Carrizo plain, in the Temblor Range, abut 50 miles due west of Bakersfield, California. California is kind of an odd place people-wise, but it is also where they keep many of the most beautiful views in this country. Wow. Slightly larger version here.
