If your browser loads this as I hope, you’ll see one large photo above that shows Lake Tahoe at the top (north) and the snowy Sierra Nevadas below it; one large photo at the bottom which looks back west and north across the arid western Nevada landscape, to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. And in between, ten photos I took during the six minutes that elapsed as our plane flew across the Sierra Nevadas, leaving behind California and beginning its flight across Nevada.
Central Valley with west slope of the Sierra Nevada hoving into view at the top right; below, the next two shots with the snowy Sierras in view and I think that’s Lake Tahoe at the top.
Enlarge the photo just above, and follow the peak of the roof up to see Mt Diablo as seen from the rolling hills of West County near Sebastopol. I referred to the photos I took on this last-evening walk w/Howard back in late April before I headed north to Mendocino County the following morning. If I managed to get both Mt Tam and Diablo in the same frame, as I mentioned in an earlier post, then it would likely have been the middle image just below, but I’m not sure I see it any more. Oh well.
Since I unabashedly love (and repeatedly photograph) the rolling hills, vineyards and farms of West (Sonoma) County, there remain quite a few unposted photos which will carry this particular category forward for at least several more posts… 🙂
The last shots I’ve not yet posted from our May departure from SFO en route to Pittsburgh. Still plenty left, of snowy Sierra and Rocky mountains and so on. But this is another farewell to the bay-area shots from my most recent trip. For those unfamiliar — open a map of SF and the bay, and then it’ll make sense. SF city itself is that white area in the upper left, while Alameda island is in the middle right, below the wing. The rounded bay you to the top middle is San Pablo bay, which we’ve shown you before – it’s part of the SF Bay but separately named b/c as you see it’s a bit distinct, having various peninsulas and such to define it a bit more clearly.
