Photos from this Saturday's returned annual "Gold Rush Live" event held at the site of Sutter Mill where gold was discovered in 1848. For the event a gold rush era town is recreated with period actors who remain in character.
First, here are photos of the Sutter Mill site itself and the American River waters that fed it:
Pictured here are the distant hills from where the gold originated before it was deposited into the river followed by a view looking downstream where the Sutter Mill had been positioned midway on the left bank:
Now photos, as we experienced it, of the "Gold Rush Live" event itself that is held here adjacent to the Sutter Mill site once each year:
And yes, there is still gold to be found in the waters of the South Fork American River there in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California:

DICKIN MEDAL PROPOSED FOR TALIBAN-FIGHTING DOG THEO
The E-Sylum (3/6/2011)
.
This article from the Daily Mail profiles a bomb-sniffing dog and his master, who was killed recently in Afghanistan. The dog died shortly afterward and has been proposed for the Dickin Medal, "the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross". -Editor
DEFENCE Afghanistan 174672In life, they were inseparable. And in death, this brave man and his best friend are staying by each other’s side.
A record-breaking Army sniffer dog and his devoted handler will make their final journey home together next week.
Theo, a springer spaniel cross, suffered a fatal seizure shortly after his master, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was shot dead by the Taliban on Tuesday.
The 22-month-old dog was said to have died of a broken heart after the Arms and Explosives Search soldier was killed.
The pair had uncovered 14 home-made bombs and hoards of weapons in just five months on the frontline – more than any other dog and handler in the conflict. And when L/Cpl Tasker, 26, is repatriated to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire next week, Theo’s ashes will be alongside his body in a casket on the RAF Hercules carrying the coffin.
It is a very nice Capital. I have been inside every state Capital except Alaska and Hawaii. The Hawaii state Capital was closed when we were there in 1998. Still trying to get to Alaska.

Your pictures from the Cal capitol and Sutter's Mill brought back a lot of fun memories. We lived in Sacramento for a few years--my husband is originally from the area--and we did a lot of hiking up in the Folsom Lake area. Didn't do any gold panning up there, but it would been fun.
One of my fun memories of hiking up there in the late-90s was I was a bit of a daredevil at the time (still am) and started to climb up this really high, somewhat sheer boulder. There were a bunch of vultures sitting at the top and they started doing that thing where they bob their heads side-to-side and make a bunch of horrible noises. They were extremely interested in what I was doing. No doubt hoping I'd fall, maybe break a leg if they were lucky and perhaps that other noisy, large primate waving its arms at the bottom of the boulder would leave and they would have a nice feast.
As I climbed up the rock my husband yelled, "Come down from there. If you won't listen to me, even the vultures think you are going to fall and they're the experts!"
"Experts" has been a bit of an inside joke between us ever since.
My Muscovy I got earlier this spring/summer is finally figuring out what it's wings are for - right after I snapped these it flew off of the logs and I missed it............

A few of my favorites taken in Japan during 2019 before the international travel restrictions.
The first castle photo is of Himeji Castle and its pictured walkway duplicates the location of a scene in the 1967 James Bond film "You Only Live Twice." (The Himeji Castle was used as the set location for the Ninja School in the movie.)
The preceding two photos are of the giant Tori off Miyajima Island near Hiroshima and the sunset castle gate photo is in Kanazawa and the pictured pearl diver is off Mikimoto Isand near Ise, Japan.

Can add with regard to the Japanese Pearl Diver that while they are generally known as "Ama" (literally, "sea women"), on the Ise Peninsula where I took this photo they are known as "Kaito." In 1956 there were over 17,000 Ama in Japan but today now less than 2,000. They are capable of. holding their breath for up to 7 minutes as they dive to depths exceeding 40 feet.
FWIW, the cruise ship pictured in the distance is the Dimond Princess and was the ship that was in early 2020 subsequently quarantined with its passengers in Tokyo Harbor off Yokohama at the inception of the current pandemic.
Not the best picture, but I saw these two desperados on a tree outside of my kitchen window and managed quick shot before they noticed me noticing them and made themselves scarce.
