Was out at Mt-Lowe-ish today. The sun mid-day makes the barges near the port stand out:

And the following day you could clearly see Santa Barbara island and San Nicolas island, behind and to the right 105 miles away!

Here's one from Sunday just north of Dayton Canyon. Breezy and beautiful.

Only a rough use trail to this waterfall in the Chatsworth Formation.

I could see the ocean and Catalina on Sunday afternoon from CHWP.

Wow. So little snow. I guess it has been far too warm?

What's that flat area in the middle of your photo?

The flat area looks like one of the "Potholes" on the Pothole Trail loop near Lake Piru.

Here is one of the lower ones. I had I few pictures of one of the upper ones (I think it was the one in the picture), but I didn't save it. The first one you see on the descent sort of looks like the picture that was shared. I heard that some of them flooded in 2023 from all the rain that year. Is that where this is?

Oh yeah. I walked around with the horizonator. This is a view to the N from above "the Pothole". Slide Mountain is the big bump in the background

That makes sense.
