About a 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles lies the Carrizo Plain. It’s a large enclosed flatland that extends for about 50 miles in one direction and 15 in the other. This is one of the best places in California to view the San Andreas Fault. I had been there a few times before photographing pronghorn and other species of California’s dry grasslands. On my most recent visit, I didn’t see any wildlife, but the landscape itself was worth a few a shots as the sun set behind the Caliente Mountain Range.
