In 2013 I was able to take a photo of Mt. Diablo from an airplane. Wow!

Mt. Diablo

Mt. Diablo - Marin County  2024

Taken in December, 2024. Usually you can't see the mountain due to fog or haze. This view is towards the east, so sometimes the sun is shining directly at you.

SFO to KIX

Overcrossing (SFO) - San Francisco  2024

International Terminal (SFO) - San Francisco  2024

The start of our latest trip to Japan - on United Airlines from San Francisco (SFO) to Osaka (KIX). We were in Japan from late October to mid-November. Yes, we timed the trip to avoid the stress levels caused by the U.S. election.

As we taxied down the runway I got a good look at two departing planes with Mt. Diablo in the background!

Mt. Diablo

Mt. Diablo from Sky Oaks Road (Lake Lagunitas) - Marin County  2024

Every time I drive up to Lake Lagunitas I pause for a moment at this spot to see if I can spot Mt. Diablo. Usually I can't, but this time I could! Rolled down the window and took this photo using a Nikon Z7II.

Pilot Knob View

 

San Quentin, Richmond Bridge, Mt. Diablo from Pilot Knob - Marin County  2022

Fairly clear, as opposed to last month's fog-layered view. 

So, someday I should drive over to Mt. Diablo and check it out. Someday.

Mt. Diablo, Sunrise, Rain

Mt. Diablo, Sunrise, Rain - Marin County  2022

I was driving up to Lake Lagunitas when I saw this view off to the left. After going past it, I quickly realized that I had to turn around. Finding a space wide enough for me to make a U-turn, I came on back and pulled over to the side. 

I took this photo though the passenger side window. I used a Nikon Z5 with a 24-200mm lens.

. . . from Loma Alta #1

Mt. Diablo from Loma Alta - Marin County  2013

Fog from Loma Alta - Marin County  2013

I've taken a few hikes recently up to the top of Loma Alta. The trailhead is close by so it's fairly easy for me to get different weather-related views.

Fog swirling around the Golden Gate Bridge.

Fog covering the bay, high monsoonal clouds overhead, with Mount Diablo far in the distance.
