Description

View From Pena Adobe

This is one of my local haunts so to speak. Pena Adobe is a Vacaville City Park that is on the edge of town, a few miles from where I live. This is a view from the park looking out over private land. The private land was zoned for development in 2016 for homes, shopping and a golf course. Thankfully the building has been delayed but for how long I don't know.
I hike this area on a regular basis but I rarely photograph it as perhaps it is too familiar to me but knowing that this view will disappear forever I am trying to make it a point to get out here more often.
On this morning I decided to take the dogs up to the radio towers at the top of the hill. It's a vigorous 1.5 mile hike to the top with a 627 foot gain in elevation. With the dogs this hike takes me about an hour.
I captured this image about 2/3 from the top. We had some recent rains so the dry brown grass was starting to give way to the newer green growth. Along with that the sun was cutting through the winter mist allowing the gold glow to show on the ridge lines.
