Lick Observatory & Sunset (Part 2) - Mt. Hamilton, CA

On 30 December 2023, my parents and I took a trip to Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton, CA. We took the back route traveling from Livermore, to Lick, then looping back via San Jose. I took more photos on the drive, than at Lick Observatory on this trip because when we got to Lick, it was in the middle of a cloud, so nothing was really visible! The photos are split into 2 blog posts! I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Clouds & Trees During Sunset - Pleasanton, CA

There were some really nice clouds floating around the skies of Pleasanton, CA recently, so I decided to take photos of them. I also took a photo of some winter trees silhouetted against the pretty clouds (because I thought it made a nice abstract photo). Here are the photos I took. These photos were all shot during sunset. The photos were shot on 1/23/2016.
