On July 2 2005 our family took a little scenic trip by Fillmore & Western Railway Co.
We took a 3 hour day trip: 1 hour to get to Santa Paula, 1 hour to walk around this nice little mostly Spanish-populated town and 1 hour to get back.

Below are few pictures from that trip. All taken with 828, mostly full manual, touched up in PS CS2.

The train engine:

    Hi Nik,
    A nice series showing what must have been a very nice day. I didn't realize that CA still had any orchards left:cry.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Chris

    A picture is but words to the eyes.
    Comments are always welcome.

    Thanks for looking!

    Actually CS still has quite a lot of orchards:-)

    It's funny - when I first came to US/CA in 1995 I only knew of CA as a Gold rush location of 1849 and as a location of Golden Gate and Silicon Valley:-)
    It was quite a surprise for me that most of the CA is actually a heavily agricultural state. And I believe it remains such: as soon as you move away inland from few hi-tech centers located on the coast, you'll be lost in endless fields around Fresno, Modesto, etc.

    Although it has less to do with the train ride, the little star one is my favorite. Love those into-the-light shots.
    enjoy being here while getting there
