Photos of Carbon Canyon Landscapes

As we remain under stay at home orders during this COVID-19 pandemic, it is important, when we can and safely, to get out of the house. 


One important way is to talk walks while maintaining social distancing and, fortunately, with decent rainfall this season and spring underway, Carbon Canyon has plenty of green in its landscape.



This post highlights a quintet of photos taken on two recent rambles among the hills in the canyon, the first pair taken on the 2nd on the Chino Hills side and the other two taken yesterday on the Brea portion.



The views show the beauty of the canyon's rolling hills, small side canyons, and open spaces, even with a growing number of houses built in recent years.



Yesterday's images are particularly noteworthy, including a relative rare occurrence of a full rainbow and a pretty spectacular sunset, especially with the lingering gray storm clouds.


Using the panorama setting on the camera enables the capturing of both the arc of the rainbow, but also the broad view of the sunset and rolling hills, to nice effect.  Click on any photo to see them enlarged in a separate window.
