Must be great to see other country like that.
We have now moved to Northern California - about 45 miles east of Sacramento up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the way to Lake Tahoe. Where we live the streams have now dried but the large rivers coming down from the Sierra's still have water - in fact will have it year round. And that is really different!!!
This particular shot is about another 30 miles east further up into the mountains - it is one of the branches of the American River which flows down into the Sacramento River and eventually out to the Pacific Ocean by way of the San Francisco Bay - if it hasn't been sucked up by the canal that takes water down to Southern California by way of the Aquaduct systems...
It is very different to have this kind of scenery nearby. Where we live isn't too different, on the surface, from our old home - same rolling hills with now dried grass and Oak trees - but the kind of Oaks are different...these will loose their leaves! We're looking forward to a true fall and a considerably cooler winter, but I don't think we'll have snow right at our house. But up where these shots were taken, there will be!!!
Thanks again
