Whiskeytown National Park is in Shasta County, California. There's some very cool history to this area. Whiskeytown was named a National Park by JFK before he was shot. This is where gold miners panned for gold many years ago and still you can find many, many little flakes of it all throughout the creeks and surrounding lakes. When you enter the park at the visitors center, you can see nothing but lake. But what's so special about that lake is that there is still the first city under all the water. They left the city there and just filled it up. It's cool history. :nod: I live only 6 miles from here. :eyes:

Here's some other shots from my photo account. Some are just a few feet from the forest above.

This is just lovely. It is hard to get good moss covered trees pictures. Sometimes the pictures look too busy. Where is Wiskeytown Forest? is it a park?
:iconfreespirit-stock:
Thank you very much! I will be going back there soon to get more. :nod:

I've provided links to other photos I've taken there in the comment area since you've sparked an interest. I should have done that when posting.

Thanks for asking about it and for the :+fav: I enjoy getting asked about the photos I take and sharing the information as well. :hug:

Still got wind in the tank
Showing me direction
I am still flying
Still got calm in my mind
Giving me protection
And I won't stop running
Away

"... a beautiful stock photo just waiting for a manipulator to come and decorate this lovely scene with flowers, fairies and magic."

... And don't forget about lens-flares, random Photoshop filters, and maybe a few Poser models, for good measure. It shall be fabulous.

Ahem. Actually, I think I prefer the shot as it is. Great scenery and lighting - Does have rather a "Fantasy" feel to it.
