June 7/10: Looking South

June 7/10: Looking South, originally uploaded by susanvg.

I never get tired of this view. I went to have a look as the sun was getting low and enjoyed the intense blue of the river. On this cooler day, the air is clear. The distant mountains beckon.

I can't imagine living in a city that is flat with no vistas. We are fortunate here with a few hills and views in every direction. I am reminded of the song, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever". However on smoggy days you are aware of the putrid air we sometimes breathe.
