Mountain, Mist, and Marsh
The We’re Here! group is visiting Mountains and More today. I really wanted to give everyone a nice shot of one of the pretty mountain views we enjoy here in Solano County, Northern California. While not large, I find the local peaks to be quite photogenic.
Unfortunately, the only gap predicted in the stormy weather was right around noon. I decided to go ahead and give it a try, because I really wanted a walk outside. Alas, I was shooting between raindrops. The air was filled with mist and the sun was brutally harsh, and after struggling for an hour I finally resorted to a black and white approach.
This shot is from a spot well into Suisun Marsh, with Mount Diablo in the distance about 35 miles away. The peak is roughly 3,800 feet – a mere foothill compared to the state’s Sierra Nevada Range – but impressive in its setting. And I did have a lovely walk.
Join We’re Here! At least you’ll get a walk!
