MT. DIABLO 

On a hazy day in central California, Mt. Diablo can be viewed from Interstate 5 as a faint watercolor splotch on the horizon line. During the right sunset, it’s silhouetted inky black against a backdrop of pastels. If the shoulder is wide enough, feel free to pull over and marvel.

Though the view on a crystal clear day can’t be beat, make an effort to visit during foggy seasons. When visibility is a mere four feet and you’re at the very edge of a vista it is pure, wonderful solitude.

You can convince yourself that you’re floating, if you really try.

“Georgia O’Keeffe hitching a ride to Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch, 1944″ AKA ”Women Who Rode Away.” –Image by Maria Chabot @Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. The painter, Maurice Grosser, visited his friend O’Keeffe’s ranch in 1944. Maria Chabot photographed O’Keeffe and Grosser on his 1938 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead. It’s an amazing image that celebrates denim, machine, and the joy of the open road. That look on O’Keeffe’s face says it all.
