This was taken from the east bay, probably from Redwood Regional Park. It couldn't be from Mt. Diablo, could it (you'd need a telephoto to get that view)?<br /><br />The hills in the foreground are one limb of a syncline, with the Hayward Fault running along their base. Oakland should be viewable from the far ridge.<br /><br />It's late afternoon and the sun is coming from almost due west, so it's probably taken in the last few weeks; I've seen that late summer fog crawling across the bay a few times in my life.jrepkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624685961793402257noreply@blogger.com
