I think that I've finally nailed the perspective on wanted on CA 198 dipping towards Warthan Creek west of Coalinga in Warthan Canyon.  I never really have been able to get the dip of road quite right.

A bunch of random stuff I've taken in Fresno this winter.

The transition ramp from southbound CA 41 to CA 180 and CA 168 eastbound.  The view facing the Sierra Nevada was pretty clear on this day.

The Tuolumne Street Overhead facing east into downtown.  This was once part of CA 180.

This week is likely the last green one in the Sierra Nevada foothills.  That coupled with high of 65F warranted a daytrip up north.

The Orange Bridge at Rydberg Creek on Cooperstown Road:

Old Don Pedro Road in Tuolumne County.  I'm not really sure why is "old" given the road was never realigned but rather sunk by the namesake reservoir after it was expanded in the 1970s.

La Paloma Road in Mariposa County.  This road continues into Merced County but is closed at the county line.
