Foresthill Bridge in the snow, Auburn, California.
After photographing the American River from the Foresthill Bridge, I walked around near the parking area to get a photo of the bridge itself.
This bridge stands over 700 feet tall, is the tallest bridge in California and the third tallest bridge in the country.
As many times as I have driven over it, walked under it and viewed it from many different perspectives, I had never seen it in the snow and had never walked across it until February 13, 2009!

North Fork of the American River, taken from the Foresthill Bridge, Auburn, California.
This shot of the North Fork of the American River takes in more of the surrounding area, than the photo I posted last week. I also wanted to include the snow in this one. After all, that was the main reason I went on my photo adventure the day this was taken.

Well, we didn't get the "White Christmas" we were hoping for. But, we have had a couple of low snowfalls recently. Unfortunately, the snow didn't stick either time.
We still have a lot of winter ahead of us. We could still get a snowfall like you see in the photo in my "Merry Christmas" post.

Merry Christmas everyone!
We hope those of you that read this blog are having a wonderful holiday season this year.
We have been really busy making photo gifts again this year and hoping for a "White Christmas." There is actually a really good chance that we will have one this year. The snow is supposed to get down to the 1,500 foot level or lower, sometime tomorrow on Christmas Day. If we do, that would make 2 in 20 years for us. That is pretty good, considering our elevation is only 1,600 feet and we only get a couple of snowfalls per year!
Hopefully, I will have some photos of our "White Christmas" here in the Sierra Foothill's to share with the readers of this Blog in a couple of days!

This shot was also taken during our recent visit to Old Town, to check out the holiday decorations. I have photographed this beauty several times before, but never from this perspective and never at night.
Most of the shots that were taken during this photo shoot were shot at ISO 3200 and 6400. This one was shot at ISO 6400. It was a really good opportunity to put the Nikon D300 to the high ISO test. It also gave me a good reason to experiment with the Noise Reduction feature in Adobe Lightroom 2. I am very pleased with the results.
I highly recommend the Nikon D300, to anyone looking for an affordable Pro-level Nikon DSLR camera. I am also blown away by the features and performance of Lightroom 2 and I highly recommend that as well.
