The Year In Pictures: July
If you drive up to Santa Rosa, about an hour north of Oakland, cut west along the Russian River, and then take a short zig down the coast followed by a short zag back east along the other side of the river, you'll come to Pomo Canyon, a sweet little stand of redwood trees rising out of the chaparral and grass of the region. They don't take reservations, so it's first come, first serve. This shot was taken as Gandalf revealed himself to be the White Wizard.
