Donner Summit Winter Sky

The weather cleared and we drove up to Donner Summitsky  Snow shed one copy Beautiful bright blue skies with high clouds.  Do you see that dark line partway down the mountain?

I’ll enlarge it so you can get a better view.

Snow shed twoThis is a snow shed for the railroad.  You might have heard that Donner Pass can get A LOT of snow at times.  The snow shed protects the trains from avalanches.

More skies can be found at Sky Watch Friday, hosted for us by Klaus,Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and Sylvia.swftom
