Natural Lines – Calaveras Fault Trail

Photo 101: Natural World & Leading Lines.

I took this picture at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve in the hills above San Jose, California.  The vertical line of the small stream is clearly visible.  If you look closely, one can see horizontal lines across most of the hillside. Natural erosion caused by the lack of vegetation on this hillside.

If you’re looking for a fantastic place to hike, Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve offers over 14 miles of trails a very short drive from the Silicon Valley!

This picture was taken with my trusty – and, light – Nikon D40.

If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
