130 East  (Mount Hamilton Road) in California

The hills are a bright yellow here. Down below 2500 feet in this area they are usually a tan color.

This is taken looking towards the Santa Cruz Mountains. The valley is obscured by smog.
The middle of the horizon is the gap near 9 and 35. Also you can see this area from the vista points on Skyline.

Loma Prieta is the peak on the horizon.
The nearby foothills in the foreground are above south east San José.

This is another view of the Santa  Cruz Mountains in the distance.
This really shows the backside of the East San José foothills as well.
