Hope everyone is off to a great Sky Watch Friday !
Last Sunday I thought -- "what the heck, I wonder what the sunset might look like like up on Mt. Tamalpais this afternoon", so I thought the best thing to do was to find out. I knew there would be a fog bank -- it had been drifting in and out of the Golden Gate all week, but the only question was -- would it be high fog, or would it be low fog. Fortunately it turned out to be low fog...

Well, that is just the best spot in the world to get a stunning sunset photograph!
Just a gorgeus shot! Before reading I was thinking that You are a bird;)
what a great sunset shot!
I am glad your gamble paid off - great picture.
Love the way the light is caught by the seed heads in the top shot.
Well, that was well worth it! Thanks for sharing it too. ;-)

WOW. that is an absolutely beautiful photo!
Gorgeous colors!
High or low, it is made beautiful by the sunset.
Thanks for making the effort to go up the mountains so you could bring this to us.
Beautiful shot! I bet if you showed this to Helen Mirren, she'd be quite impressed!;)
Magical colours in your sunset. I love the way you have captured the sun over the clouds.
Finally, you do "the best thing to do", and take one of the best and amazing picture of this Sky Watch! You have had a strong hunch with this.
That is a really stunning! My post today is of SF fog, but nothing like this!! WOW!
Stunning! Almost surreal! Wonderful Sky Watch.
There you have done great job - I'm very envious!
This is an amazing sunset image!
The reflections of the sun over the clouds are marvellous.
Enjoy Sky Watch!

Very magical Don. Terrific reds and subtle shads of purple.
You definitely live in Heaven! :-) This is one of the most beautiful and mysterious sunsets I've ever seen!
Have a great week-end!
Georgous shot and I REALLY love your header photo!
what a fabulous picture.
Wow I guess it was worth the trip. Outstanding photograph!
Cheers
The photograph on top with the little grass sticking out looks like a post card!
(You got to see the GG bridge from Marin? Good for you! We haven't had a clear, unobstructed view from the other side for at least 3 weeks now! I just looked out the window and it's completely covered in fog right now, not even a piece or a suggestion of a tower sticking out, nothing at all!!)
THANKS EVERYBODY for your kind comments.
As you can see, I had a little help from Mother Nature on this one -- all I did was click the shutter, didn't even have my tripod with me... (oh, I boosted the color saturation just a wee-tad, and brought up the shadows a bit with Curves in Photoshop, but that's about all)
So beautiful!
Forunately is right. How very spectacular is this shot.
Oh yes, it's really a spectacular scene! ;)
That's a great photo. Thanks!
Wow! Simply breath-taking! This shot should be published.
cool shot, happy shooting.
Very very great looking picture! I'm glad you took that extra mile for us to see that view. Exellent picture and editing.
Outstanding
That's my highest rating for a photograph.
