Down the American River (Folsom pt 2)

So, I went back and did a spring evening flight from KBLU towards Folsom, in the Businessliner this time. Coming down past Auburn towards the lake -

Across the lake now, approaching the Folsom Lake Dam on the southern side. On the left bank of the American River just past the bridge in the shot below should be Folsom Prison (as in Johny Cash and "I shot a man in Reno, just to see him die") but I don't think it's specifically modelled. I couldn't pick it out after looking at Google Earth and this fly over.

Heading south from Folsom, some interesting countryside ahead

And (and this is doing wonders for my geography) apparently, Sacramento is off to the right. This is Sacramento Mather Airport ahead, and I'll probably come back here and do another leg from here later. I taught a couple of classes in Sacramento back in the '90s but never got any time to explore the area, but I will now!

But first, this has caught my eye so I think I'll go look-see. Don't know if it's a real installation or just landclass objects - can't place it via Google

When I first got into this lark a couple of years ago, I thought photo-scenery would be the thing. Bought some MegaScenery areas but it really doesn't do it for me. It's finding little gems like the above and flying low and slow that makes my day.

 

Anyway, if I ever get that Sacramento trip done, I'll take a few shots and stick them up here.

 

Enjoy
