DOT Shots! A collage of our colleagues

Welcome to Caltrans' new virtual photo album! In this gallery we share random photographs taken by and of our fellow employees. We would love it if you contributed to the next e-newsletter's "DOT Shots!" gallery: Just email the CT News editor a high-resolution image (at least 500 KB, please) and be sure to include a sentence that details who is pictured, who took the shot, and where the photo was taken. The deadline for the next e-newsletter edition is Nov. 30. Say cheese!
