This is a pano of 4-5 images I took with my phone when I went out chasing the sunset the other day. I found most of our walking areas closed because of the rains – muddy trails, swollen creeks – and so followed roads into the surrounding mountains. When I came to this view, I had to really think – where is this? It took a minute, but then I realized I was overlooking the Santa Rosa Valley (I live in the Conejo Valley), from a vantage point I had never seen.
The rains cleared and the sky was filled with clouds! I went to my usual places but they were all closed – muddy trails, swollen creeks. So I headed for the hills, following roads I sort of knew might give me a clear view of the sky and city. This one was a total surprise. Suddenly I was wondering just what I was looking at, and then it hit me – I was looking into the valley beyond the mountains surrounding my own. The clouds were beautiful as the sun went down, so I took a series of pictures – 4 or 5 – and made a pano of them in PS. This made my day, let me tell you!
