© Calaveras Photography 2010
Congratulations! You've found it!
But what is "it" you ask?
"It" is a collection of black and white photographs from all around
Calaveras County and the surrounding areas.
It may be things you drive by everyday, or places you've never seen.
Regardless, they're all little treasures our local area has to offer us.
Sometimes we take for granted what a beautiful area we live in...
here are a few reminders!

A Bit About Calaveras County
Calaveras County is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains -
San Francisco and 135 miles west of Lake Tahoe. Midway along State Highway
49, which links
the towns of the Gold Country. Calaveras County is filled with natural
and historic diversity.
Calaveras County was named after the Calaveras River. Calaveras is a Spanish word
meaning skull.
This name was first given to the river because of the great quantities
of human skulls found
along the lower reaches of the river.
Mark Twain set his story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", in the
county.
Each year, the county hosts its County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee, featuring
a frog jumping contest,
to celebrate the association with Twain's story. The celebrated
California red-
feared absent from the county by 1969, was rediscovered
in 2003.
