California Gold
The main image was shot in August 2007 at the Trinity River in North Western California. The other images I merged to create this collage are the gold dredge, the miner’s boots, the goldpan in the lower right and the goldpan that is in the center and faded out…..The gold is real, including the nugget; my husband and son have been lucky enough recently to have the time and knowhow to actualy find some of that amazing California gold! The Trinity River is a well known river for dredging and panning ever since the great California Goldrush back in the 1800s….....I hope you enjoy this fun image.

Well I have to admit it is a little different; I had created it sometime ago for a challenge, that I did not win…....I removed it a couple of weeks ago when I downsized some of my images…but tonight….I thought I would upload it again for the Goldrush and Ghostowns Group. Thank you for your support!
