I love those hills too, so lumpy, bumpy, and often without very many trees. The best in the area. Unfortunately, it's hard to get them without power lines, glimpses of freeway, etc. I've tried and tried. I'd like to do a sort of carcharistco (I gave up trying to figure out how to spell that) thing with shadows, but finding a vantage point is hard. I just lucked out on the barn, driving around. But I'd really like just hills someday. Ever notice how you can see great things from the highway/freeway and then not be able to find any place to drive off, any vantage point, from which to take them? Mt. Diablo is like that too, I get great views from the freeway. And when you do find roads off, usually your elevation lowers, so the view is gone. Almost makes one want to pull off to the side. (But not a good idea, accidents and the cop that will eventually come along.) Good luck. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
