Default Bay Area Hills
I took these photos of the Bay Area hills after a short rainstorm. The countryside turns electric green for a few weeks every year before settling back into "golden" brown.

This is a view looking west towards the San Pablo Bay. I travel that highway every day on the way to work.



A large wind turbine farm near Rio Vista.



And finally a shot of Mt. Diablo as I prepare to call 2 mile base leg into KCCR. The underground storage bunkers pictured here are leftover from WWII.

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Default Wow - really stunning
Great picture Rob. Glad to see you are exercising the 3! The boys from PTW all went on a short cross country yesterday. Not the same view you had, but still nice PA countryside!
