**UPDATED** Scenery South of Reno in Black & White - Reno/Sparks NV, and Surrounding Area, Part V (a)

This is part V(a) of my series of photo blogs detailing my recent trip to the Reno/Sparks area. 

These shots were taken between Carson City and Reno, mostly in Washoe Valley.  One of my friends suggested I explore these pics in black and white and I think that's a great idea!  This blog is the exact same as the one I recently posted, with the exception of all of the conversion to B&W.

On Old 395 in Washoe Valley.

Looking over Washoe Lake.

Looking up toward the new, unopened section of 395.

Bowers Mansion.

Ruins in the slide zone along 395 of the May 30, 1983, Slide Mountain rock slide

Although this sign said 'Welcome', they tried to shut the nearby electric gate and trap my sister and her kids while they were clearly trespassing and trying to pet a horse. "You lie, sign!!!!!"

The victim of the flagrantly illegal petting!!!!!!!

Scenery South of Reno - Reno/Sparks NV, and Surrounding Area, Part V

This is part V (That's 5 in smarty-pants-speak!) of my series of photo blogs detailing my recent trip to the Reno/Sparks area. 

These shots were taken between Carson City and Reno, mostly in Washoe Valley.  They have not been colored in any way, the deep dark blue skies are a result of the polarizer on my lens.
