A Scenic View at Windy Point Vista - a photo on Flickriver

            What I decided to do for this image was to not just look across this vista view to the far off peaks in the distance. I decided to turn my SLR camera slightly downward. What I found was from this overlook, it would capture the feeling of not just looking down but looking across this rugged landscape. Then off in the distance, one would see nearby peaks including Thimble Peak and other far far off mountains at another point in the Sonoma desert.
