Description
Fine art scenic landscape photograph marrying Earth, Sky and Water. Beneath a sunny sky brushed with cirrus clouds, an emerald-green hill terraced by hooves rises above the river’s floodplain. From atop the hill, the vista stretches north across pastureland to sand dunes and the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean in southern Mendocino County.
This place is called “P'da Hau”. which translates to “river mouth” in the language of the Bokeya Pomo people. P'da Hau is still the traditional name of this stream, though it was later called the Garcia River, after Rafael Garcia who was issued a 40,000 acre Mexican Land Grant in 1844 that included the mouth of the river. The land grant was denied in 1854 and Garcia moved on, but the Pomo people are still here, as are the steelhead that return to spawn each year in their natal stream.
