California Sky
I try to have a post for Mike's weblog enticing him with California Sky pictures. I can't stand him in showing off his new home with all the cliff, ocean, waterfall and forest that are within minutes from his doorstep.
The first picture is within seconds from my doorstep as it is my home and the 2nd picture is about 15 minutes drive from my home and it is a county park that is close to highway 84 and Fremont Ardenwood area. This is not meant to stage a war against Mike living in beautiful Australia but rather enticing him with all the rain that he has encountered in recent days. Mike, please stop whining about the rain. You are living next to heaven if you think about the California traffics, economics and work stress that goes with the millions dollar weather.
More of my photos and life can be seen in Hin's Photo Blog and Hin's Tech Corner. All the best to you, your family and readers of this site.

I actually believe that the drive east of Fremont on 84 is one of the hidden treasures of the bay area.
And in fact I haven't been complaining about the rain. I'm mostly trying to point out what a land of contrasts I am in. An hour one direction, they're selling livestock and farms because they can't survive the drought. An hour the other direction, they can't measure the rain because the gauge isn't big enough. If I've sounded like I'm complaining, it's because I've been going through winter since about last September. I left California just as spring was breaking loose, and the seasons are backward down here. On the bright side, spring is finally arriving in another month or so. Christmas is when you go to the beach here (although it's not bad most of the year).
The weather at work (on the coast) is essentially the same as L.A. Summer most of the year with a touch of rain in the winter.
At home (on top of the escarpment) it's more like the mountains in New Mexico. The summers are hot like L.A., but a cooler and wetter winter and a history of gale force wind on occasion.
Only 20 miles from work, yet it's a totally different climate.
