West Marin

A  L  O  H  A !

“This land is your land, this land is my land, 
From California to the New York island,
 From the redwood forest 
to the Gulf Stream waters, 
This land was made for you and me”
                         Woody Guthrie 












It is impossible to convey the
 vast scale of this Marin mountainside.
Do you see the tiny fence in the upper left?
The corner of the fence is pointing at
hikers on a trail. See them?
They are enlarged below























" Not until we are lost 
do we begin to 
understand ourselves."
Henry David Thoreau
























"A hunch is 
creativity trying to 
tell you something." 
                      Frank Capra

Marin county is a triangle
pointing at San Francisco
across the Golden Gate.
On one side: The Bay.
Bordering the West:
Pacific ocean.
In between:mountains.
We live on the East
(Bay) side. These
photos were shot
in Central and West

Thank You Friend!
               Warmly, cloudia

  9. Lovely greens in these photos. Beautiful landscapes surround you, always.

    There's also a Canadian version of This Land is Your Land. It's by The Travelers from 1955 with a few verses and this chorus...

    This land is your land this land is my land.
    From Bonavista to Vancouver Island
    From the Arctic Circle to the Great Lake waters
    This land was made for you and me.


    I was well into my teens.. perhaps 20s before I knew that it was originally an American song. :)
