I chose to feature this photo in my "Wednesday's WOW" post for a couple of reasons.
First of all, I really like it and secondly the annual Western States 100 Endurance Run is coming up June 27-28. If you have never heard of this race, it is a 100-mile foot race which starts in Squaw Valley, California and winds up in Auburn, California 100-miles later. The participants of this race will cross No Hands Bridge minutes before reaching the finish line at Placer High School. NOTE: This bridge is in both El Dorado and Placer counties.

Snowy red barn, rural Auburn, California.
This photo of the snowy red barn was also taken the day of my photo adventure across the Foresthill Bridge.
Here is another photo of the same red barn, that I took a couple of years ago. I have always had a love and attraction for old barns, in particular red ones.

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.
