Since we resumed this series with (if I may say) rather spectacular shots of Yosemite Valley & Halfdome as seen from my airplane on the day I flew over toCalifornia in late December, we’ve shown you some of various spines of mountains that run through CA, starting with those Sierra Nevada photos, one earlier shot of these Snow Mountain and other higher parts of the “northern coastal range” in Mendocino National Forest, and of course the lower, closer to the coast coastal range further south as seen all around my Sonoma County home base. Naturally, I cherish mountain views when I find them outside NL, just as I cherish lovely canal views when here in NL 🙂
During my recent stay in California, I got as far north as central Mendocino County when I spent two glorious nights off-network or wifi at all-natural Orr Hot Springs. I took the coast road up from Sonoma County, but cut over to Ukiah and the freeway for the trip back. This photo is from the crest of the coast range west of Ukiah, and if you look closely above or below you will see what I’m 99% confident are the snow-capped east and west peaks of Snow Mountain (which we’ve shown you before), more or less E-NE of this spot. Both peaks are well over 2,100 meters (7,000 feet) high, and it’s good to see at least a bit of snow at that elevation this late in the season.
(so much world, so little time....)
