Road Trip Denver to San Francisco
Leaving Nevada desert and into Yosemite National Park California and stopping off at Jan's Ranch just outside Jamestown Tuolumne County CA.
After 5 days drive through
the desert this leg of the journey finally sees us leave the desert behind as
we enter Yosemite National Park, and on to a little town called Jamestown and a
ranch belonging to a friend that i have wanted to visit for a few years now. Of
course this year you cannot arrive in California without being aware
of some of the worst forest fires in the state’s history. Some of the
pictures below, taken in Yosemite, show some of the destruction caused
by fire, but i was also keenly aware of
the ever present danger at Jan's as the sound of
sirens was never far off followed by helicopters and water planes.
Jan tells me this has been the situation day and night for the last couple
of months. The fact that state is in its fourth year of drought does
not help either. For me it has provided the inspiration for an
instillation project i am currently working on.

The road to Jans farm in the evening light lights up the fading grass stalks that give it its ubiquitous Golden Hill of California name.
