Mount Tamalpais

Warm summer days bring an offshore marine fog layer that sits off the coast of San Francisco, sometimes nestling up onto the flanks of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. After a long hike on the mountainside, as the late sun brought an oragne light to the western sky, I saw a solitary hiker on the ridgeline. Framed with a crescent hillside and the clouds below if conveys the airiness of the high peaks and the smallness of man in a vast and wondrous landscape.
