Bakersfield is dry. The only water not miles under the earth mixed with oil is the Kern River which flows from the man-made Lake Isabella Dam. Contrary to popular belief, there are hills in Bakersfield. This hill is more of a cliff.
Saturday I trekked out in the 108 degree heat to make some images. Unfortunately I didn’t have a telephoto to really reach out and show the expanse of oil wells. I did make some images worth sharing.
It is worth mentioning that I picked up a different camera. It’s a joy to learn and work with and about 1/5 the weight of my Canon DSLR lens and camera body kit, making hiking, walking and travelling easier.
