I decided to bring the camera along on today's ride to retry my technique of photo shooting while riding my bicycle. I felt I needed to show more of the road I'm traveling on than shooting the landscape to my sides. So here we go.


This is my driveway. I live in a small town in Northern California at the 3100' elevation.



This is our main street and a state highway. They provide a bike lane, the only one in the area.


When I ride all the way through town, I turn left off the highway onto this quiet country road. I rarely encounter a car and if I do it's only one or two. The road stretches across a mountain meadow we call Black Ranch meadow. To the north I can see Mt Shasta peaking it's top above mountains that lie between me and Shasta. It's so quiet that after all these years of living here, it still astounds me. On the right side of the road is timber land, on the left is cattle pastures.



There I am, peddling down the road.



As I reach the end of this wonderful country road I come to the Black Ranch that gives the name of the road and meadow. It's beautiful with its fields, barns and homes. Enjoy!!
