Moss Brea Falls, Dunsmuir CA, is one of the most breathtaking sights that one can see. You hike on train tracks, heavily surrounded by ground rock, for about 1 mile ... you step to your right and just below you is the first sight of the falls. Water appears from nowhere and gently cascades down moss covered rocks into the river.
This is my 3rd trip to visit these falls and they are every bit as spectacular as the first time I laid eyes on them. They provide a perfect subject for the camera as well as a wonderful background for a few portraits.
The only trail to the falls ... Steep hill to the right and a sharp drop to the river to the left. The rocks make for slow, unsure walking. The falls however, make it all worth the hike.
Later in the day, we found ourselves in Redding looking at used lenses and I ended up getting a 30 year old M50mm f2.0 for $30.00. It is necessary to set the apperture manually as well as focus, however, it takes very nice images when stopped down a little. (Shot at the camera store)
