Nature

Driving through… : LAPC & SS

Driving through…

Big rock mountains, sculpted and fired by the sun

And ranges, arising from basins washed by summer storms

Approaching cliffs layered with basalt flows preserving stories of their past

And volcanic hills, pounded by thundering hooves and eroded by falling rain

Driving through…

The warm comforting embrace of oak trees

And pine forests, swaying in celebration of winter’s first snowfall
