In this case, really one mountain – Mt St Helena. This mountain of volcanic origin has several peaks, the highest of which reaches 4,342 ft (1,323 m) in Sonoma County – other peaks are in Napa and Lake Counties. It’s also the highest peak in the bay area, which includes all the counties bordering SF Bay. You’ve seen it often before when I was still based in Santa Rosa, but I devoted more time to contemplating it on this last trip and am sharing my favorite photos of it in various moods and lights here. It’s easily recognizable and always fun to contemplate at all times of day, from many perspectives.
The remaining photos from my lovely drive along Rte 1 through Marin County, mostly along Tomales Bay in this case though I think the one above was along Bolinas Lagoon…
Above, an older part of Antwerp’s absolutely fascinatingly complex multi-level old & new train station. Below, the last from our short weekend in Ghent.
Two more from Pittsburgh: Below, City of Asylum‘s “Burma House” (do open the link and read about this wonderful organization of which I first learned only during this walk). Above, Randyland which is a personal museum qua expression of exuberance in the same neighborhood. 🙂 Apologies that I can’t offer photos with better lighting – it was a drizzly, gray morning but the only morning we had for this exploration.
