High above the Chimney Top!

We had to stop and take pictures of this old homesteads chimney, and part of this old song came to my head.

“Someday I’ll wish upon a star,

Wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney top

That’s where you’ll find me…..

Do you know what the song is?

#1 The stairs.

Great rock work here.

What a cool find Kim. I wonder how long they have been there.

  No idea, I’d say around the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. This used to be a ranch.

Really nice! I like that song, too. I hope you had wonderful holidays. Mine were great, but it felt really weird being away from the computer.

  I could see that, totally.

#2 An old fence,

The rocks they picked were so pretty.

Would love a fence from these rocks.

  The rocks were so pretty. You can’t see the colors well in this, and the sparkles, they were so sparkly.

#3 That fireplace

was really something. It was a work of art.

  I wish I could sit down and listen for awhile. The thing was about 8 foot at the hearth.

I wonder how it looked 100 years ago. Wonderful, it is indeed a piece of art.

  I bet it was all sparkling and clean, it is a great work right.

#4 More of the stairs.

I bet that was something, to have a house right here.

Yup, this is what dreams are made of. I could watch this for hours every day. If I were there, I would have closed my eyes and imagined I was 100 years ago.

  Oh boy, me too. And they get two views. One on each side of the ridge. Morning and sunset.

#6 Same view

as above, but zoomed in and I will pan from right to left.

The shadows of the trees really caught my eye.

  Copy that and listen to it if you can.

#7 The pony express came up this way.

From the desert floor. The bench there is on the Pacific Crest Hiking Trail.

A new lookout point was added after the fires. This is my son, he took tons of photos as well.

I am sure he had an incredible view.
