Panoramic view of hills and valleys in south San Francisco bay area, Santa Clara county; Almaden valley in the background; San Jose, California
Amazing view in my town right under my nose. It was my first time here and I love the hills and the green in the winter. Compositionally is not what I wanted but the sky was pretty dramatic and  I thought why not.
Check out this spot of you are around San Jose.
