A very brief timelapse I captured in late Spring of 2024 featuring the famous Castle Crags of southern Siskiyou County. More a learning exercise than anything. I hope to do more and longer timelapse videos.
Timelapse sunrise over Redding CA 4/12/2024 – 5 seconds long.
Did this TL yesterday. Turned out nice.
While 5 seconds may be my attention span lately, bear in mind that this took a lot longer to shoot and edit. I shot a frame every 10 seconds and you see it here at 24 frames per second. So, roughly 128 shots taken over 20 minutes or so. Took about an hour to edit it to what you see here. Makes you appreciate those really long timelapses you see some artists do.
Glowing Wild at Turtle Bay
Here are a few images I captured of the Glowing Wild exhibit at the McConnell Arboretum at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding.

New Courthouse in Redding is about to open
I see the new courthouse in Redding is finally set to open. I captured this aerial footage of it under construction in the fall of 2022. The scene starts across the street at the old courthouse, dressed in beautiful fall colors, and then (takes too long) to circle the new structure. Worth a view, if you haven’t seen it elsewhere on social media.
Redding projected as #1 for real estate appreciation by Core Logic
Rare (read: Never) is it that I re-post anything here from our local paper, which is often very negative about my favorite city. If it bleeds, it leads. But this article really caught my attention. People are starting to notice that Redding is actually a pretty nice place to live:
Chamise Peak Trail delivers a splendid perspective
A rare view that includes both Castle Crags on the left, and the 3 Shastas to the right.
A perspective gained from the top of the Chamise Peak Trail just north of Redding. The Chamise Peak Trail is considered “easy.” I guess that depends on your skills. It’s only about 2.6 miles one way, but it does rise about 600 ft. Most of the trail is wide and smooth, but towards the peak it gets more narrow and rocky. Click on images to enlarge.
Still, the results are worth the effort. Follow Flanagan Road off Lake Boulevard west to the end, to the trailhead.
A pleasant hike rewards hikers with new perspectives. The Chamise Peak Trail.
It’s Really Redding.
