Darker Skies

Salt Spring Valley in Calaveras County is one of the most beautiful places I have seen to photograph. This one-room schoolhouse was in operation from 1869-1945 serving the children of a number of families having ranches in and around the Salt Spring Valley area. This picture was taken as the sunset over the horizon using a Neutral Density filter to get a longer exposure with more vibrance. Being here is like taking a step back in time.
