This capture is pure magic and the moment I gazed at it, my Heart went up in my throat. The vista is SO powerful, Laura, and I really thank you for bringing it to me. (((HUGS))) Amy
What a great tribute to the Santa Clara Valley where I lived for 31 years before having to move away. I spent many happy hours hiking the trails in those hills far on the horizon …
Beautiful image. I’ve got to search my archives. I seem to remember a shot I have- not unlike this- from Yosemite. Of course, not with any where near the color or lighting!

What a great tribute to the Santa Clara Valley where I lived for 31 years before having to move away. I spent many happy hours hiking the trails in those hills far on the horizon …
December 1, 2014 at 4:54 pm
Well thank you except it’s not the Santa Clara valley. It’s looking over contra costa and alameda and San Francisco 🙂
December 1, 2014 at 8:13 pm
oh well… it ‘s nearly the same… what a great tribute to Contra Costa-Alameda where I never hiked any trails …
December 2, 2014 at 7:27 am
looool…I’m sorry…is it wrong for me to get a small chuckle out of this? 😉
December 2, 2014 at 9:09 am
Nooo, I live within a ‘sense-of-humor-world. Only way to survive when age catches up with us … as it is doing with me. Holiday Cheers. 😉
