God's Beauty

I live in a town of about 100,00 people in central California. I am lucky to live where I do because the cost of living is probably less than anywhere else in the state. We are about equidistant from LA to San Francisco and within a few hours drive to the coast or the desert. The mountains are only an hour away. The downside is that we are in a valley, and we have terrible smog. I love everything about living here except for the smog. But on clear days, you hope nobody comes here because everyone would want to move here! it is gorgeous.

I work in a smaller town (about 8,000) that is only about 15 minutes away from my house. Well, with the last storm we had, I had the treat of seeing this as I drove to work. It was breathtaking. (you must click on the picture to get a better view.)
