I have driven the 280 freeway north and south between San Jose and San Francisco a gazillion times and every time I drive it, I think about stopping to take pictures. It is very scenic. However, I am usually not alone or it is too late or raining or something. Yesterday was different. I was alone and it was about an hour before sunset when I left San Jose. I thought maybe, if I was lucky, I could stop for some pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge. Then as I drove, I was overcome by the beauty of the rolling hills and the greeness of the mountains. And the fog. It was just beginning to creep over the mountains and it was breathtaking. I stopped. Not once but six times.
Below are the results, minus the sunset pictures which will come in a post, soon. I think you’ll see what I mean about being overcome by the beauty.
I love moments like those. You captured them really well.

funny isn’t it.. but sometimes it takes a still picture to make you really see the grandeurs with which we are fortunate enough to be surrounded… thanks for this ….

Yup, we’re pretty damn lucky to live in the Bay Area. It’s wonderful that you took the time (and the your camera) to slow down and really look.

Good for you for stopping. We (maybe I should rephrase and say I) don’t do enough stopping. I love the tree. How exciting to be in the Bay Area – would love to see it.
