Sunset from the Top of the Hill | Santa Rosa Landscape Photographer

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of hiking up the hill behind Kick Ranch in Santa Rosa.  UP the hill, like a deer, scrambling over rocks, and slipping on shale, UP the hill.  My friend Don took me up to a place that he goes to photograph the sunset.  Wow.  There was a heavy cloud cover that evening, but a break right at the horizon.  We sat and talked and waited for “the moment” when the sun would be in that sweet spot.  What a sweet spot it turned out to be.  But the cloud cover made for interesting shots as the sun approached the break.

Here’s the approaching hazy sunshine, I love how the hills over Riebli Valley flatten and how each is it’s own shade of the same color.  Look closely to the left, and you’ll see two birds in flight.

Then once the sun sank into the break between cloud cover and sunset, wow, just wow.  Love where we live, love the new friendship with Don & Jen!
