This is our cabin on a hilltop in central California. You need a 4wheel drive vehicle to get to it. We spent a few days there last week. A slightly tilted picture, it was snapped after we were in the car, ready to leave. We call it "The Palace" (because NOT) At sunrise, looking out over the San Joaquin valley. On a really clear day you can see the Sierras. A few times we spotted Half Dome with binoculars.

We harvested our little crop of pomegranates after taking this photo.

This is on the way up to our place, going west out of Patterson, into the Diablo Range. The hill in the middle is my favorite- a dragon? a camel?
