Okay, I will admit that I got rather excited when this scene opened up in front of me, but the more I look at the photo the less I like it. Contrails, although "arty", spew from military planes--crews training for the endless string of illegal wars that our government seems hell-bent in pursuing.
But welcome to the Montezuma Hills, a place few have reasons to visit, EXCEPT for dopey hunters who delight in blasting birds and call it sport.

In my youth I frequently came here to photograph the low rolling hills with my 4x5 view camera. A more peaceful place is difficult to find. Montezuma Hills is west of Highway-12 between Fairfield and Rio Vista at the base of the Sacramento Delta. Wheat is a major crop here and sheep abound.

Forty years ago only a few experimental "first generation" wind turbines had been "planted", but today there are several hundred highly efficient 3 bladed windmills, a few as tall as 400 feet, spinning away, helping satisfy insatiable demands for electricity. Montezuma Hills gets more than its share of wind.
