A drone pano of this beautiful bridge in Alpine County, CA, where everywhere you look is #SomethingBeautiful.

Taken in 2021, after Markleeville was severely endangered and impacted by the Tamarack Fire.

A wooden bridge crosses over a slow-moving river. There are rock walls along the sides of the river, and pine trees with deciduous trees in fall foliage mixed throughout, filling the rest of the scene. The deep blue sky has wispy white clouds. A perfect fall day. From the original posting: "I fell in love with Alpine County, CA the moment I first experienced it, and Jeremy agreed so much that we decided to get married there. In fact, we got our wedding license about 300 yards to the left of where this photo was taken, in Markleeville. Every time I pass this bridge I think, 'I have to shoot that someday.' I got up at 5:30 this morning and drove up to the mountains, listened to music, enjoyed the sunrise. On my way back through, the light was just starting to hit this area and I thought ... today's the day. This town was seriously threatened this year, by the Tamarack Fire. In fact, on my way back out of Markleeville, I was stopped because they are now clearing out all the burned and dead trees. I'm so glad the firefighters stopped the fire before it wiped out this beautiful town. In 1989, this East Fork of the Carson River was designated a 'Wild and Scenic River' by the State of California. I concur."

A tiny portion of money in the grand scheme of the federal budget, but a huge impact on small rural communities 😞

🏫 For the last century, congress has given counties with federal land money to help fund schools & roads. Now it's a victim of the Trump's cost-cutting – the Republican led congress failed to include it in its upcoming budget. Mendocino County will be impacted.

For the last century, the money has gone to counties with large amounts of federal land that can’t be taxed. Congress failed to include it in the upcoming budget.
