One of the nice things about living in a valley is that you will often have sunsets that include hills or mountains. These often add some nice silhouettes to sunset pictures.

Here is a sunset picture that I took on Monday after the big day for the sun. Mount Diablo is straight down the tracks and the rails are lit up by the setting sun.

Here is a picture that was taken just a bit earlier that also includes the setting sun. I used this picture in my post The Day of the Eclipse.

Here is the same view from an earlier time of day. I really like this picture and it shows how beautiful the view is as you look to the hills and mountains. I posted this picture on Saturday, but only a few people visited the post. See my post: Pictures from a Walk

Here is another view of Mount Diablo from south of town. I really love the color of this sunset. Sometimes the sunsets are so beautiful that I have to pull over and take pictures.

Here is a sunset picture taken from downtown. For more about this sculpture click on Sunset and the Harvest of Progress.

Sometimes I just have to step out into my front yard for a beautiful sunset. Unfortunately I can’t see any of the surrounding hills from my house. For that I need to walk just over a half mile to where I took the first three pictures.

Now to wait for the next beautiful sunset. Hopefully it will come soon 🙂
