I've lived in Chico, CA for 35 years. White folks began to settle in Chico in the early 1840's. Now a film maker has used a drone to show me places I see every day from a different perspective. But it's called "Fall Colors," so that's why I'm posting it. It's purdy. At the link below, scroll about half way to see the vid.

Sweet. That's some amazing shots of Chico!

In one shot where the drone is looking down a long, straight street, deep in the background dead center lies the world's smallest mountain range, the Sutter Buttes. It's pretty small, but right on the horizon, taking up maybe 1/12 of the horizontal horizon. It's a neat place.

I got to go in once with my school as part of a field trip about twenty years ago. Some animals and plants exist only there; it is overseen by the Middle Mountain Foundation. The State hopes to acquire it to add to the Sacramento National Wildlife refuge, but a neighboring non-profit wants to do the same. So, nothing will happen in the near future--which is good.

Very cool. Chico has a charming feel about it to begin with, and the trees from that perspective are really pretty. I like.
