Horse Head Rock at Fort Ross, as photographed by Emmy Plischke

Emmy Plischke recently photographed this rock that looks a lot like the head of a horse at Fort Ross. Thanks to Emmy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

This year is the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian settlement at Fort Ross. The buildings have been beautifully restored and it is now a California State Park. I will be posting photos of this historic site soon. There are many exciting activities commemorating the 200th anniversary.
