On my run at Pescadero County Park I noticed that a layer of clouds had formed over the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains but it was still sunny out near the Ocean. I knew there would be potential for some great evening light as the sun set underneath the layer of low clouds. Fortunately, my hope and predictions came true as I drove up Alpine Road. I stopped to take these photographs near Alpine Road in Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve and also at Vista Point/Borel Hill.
They’re some cracking shots!
Always amazing colors at sunset!
Another nice one:
