View from the Altamont, California

The Altamont is a small "mountain" range that lies between the Central Valley of California and the Livermore Valley. It is around a half hour from our house.   We can easily see it. One of its claims to fame is that it is home to large windmill "farms" along Hwy 580.  The picture above is taken from a friend's ranch and looks back - through the valley haze - to Stockton California. Turning the other direction, one sees Mount Diablo. On a clear day, you can see across the valley to the Sierra Nevadas.
