Most of these images shot with Canon 5D at one of my favorite spots a few miles into the hills east of Bakersfield, CA, USA. Lenses used include Canon 23-105 mmL IS USM. The road north of Granite Station (a once stage coach stop I believe) affords few opportunities to safely park a vehicle, leaving but one private driveway to a residence on top of a nearby hill. The owners give me a friendly way as they pass, and in return I do not publish pictures that would invade their privacy, and have on occasion left prints of some of the images their "hospitality" has made possible.
