Description
This sweet purple shrub is right on the edge of a very long drop to the Trinity River on Hwy 299, major east/west route thru California. It's a gorgeous drive, but not for the faint of heart!! You go up and down several summits, the highest of which is about 4000'. Not nearly as high as some of the peaks in the Sierras, but high enough to make you slow down a bit!!

I saw cows peacefully grazing on the sides of similar slopes in Switzerland. It is pretty amazing how beautiful these steep places are. Thanks for sharing. :)

The purple makes a great focal point for a beautiful view. I will have to check out Highway 299 sometime.

Ooops! Hang on to me! There goes my acrophobia again. Otherwise, a fine foto of the great depths of the outdoors, Maz.

when I was a kid, we went out west and drove roads like this, and I thought---coming from the midwest---"you've GOT to be kidding!" I couldn't believe anyone would drive up there. This captures the sheer wall that greets one, if they look out their window on such roads. The 'wall' is the trees and the drop. I hope you weren't driving when you took this, lol---or we might also have shots of the world flying by reeeealllly fast...a big full shot (full size) with that purple, as Mark says, in just the right place...
