    You got caught by the size police Chef. Your photos were 750 X 563   3 Pixel too Big (750 X 560) therefor no droppy downy in Gallery.

    Real, Real nice pix though. Didn't think Chico would look so nice.

    BTW, Bikes, Meters and weed are excellent. Then again Weed is always excellent. ( What am I talking about, I hate drugs) Yeah but then you wouldn't have a joke. (Oh Yeah) Yeah, love that weed.

    Hey Chef, nice pics of the area, but you didn't show one of the Tower Theater. Like the shots of the chinese walls.

    Nice post Chef. I'm with you about how sad the news is these days.
    What a nice place-Chico.
    I love the Bike image-is that for sale?

    I also like the church, weeds and horse.

    One thing....the words, Chico State/Normal should never go together.....and these are really, really nice chef! I really like bikes, because it looks like they are all going along by themselves and the focused bike is happily leading the way with its tilt. The horse is very nicely composed and the color is wonderful. Meters is really cool, although I longed to see a little deeper into the shot. Old barn, again stellar composition and color. In weeds you made me believe they were beautiful, and I really like the two in the left side of the shot with the stray coming in on the right. Chico State, normal ha!

     The walls were built by the chinese laborers, way back..to help clear the feids of all the stones...most of them came from Mt Lassen..from it's erruptions...long befor people were here..could you imagine billions of stones falling thru the air at you? Wow!...these walls are in abundance here.

    Gotta take a little different track here, the barn was my favorite, but, being a country bumpkin, oh well. All good shots!

    SG, the labor wall, around here also known as Chinese Wall, are basically rocks gathered from the ground and turned into fences. They were mostly built by the Chinese and some Italians who came for the Gold Rush, and were pretty much turned into slave labor. They are in several places, some quite long.

    Oh, I don't know.

    I like the first wall, corner church and the horse.

    I'd love to see the stained glass shot at night when there are lights inside. Of course you have to be outsied.

    Nice post in every way.
