Views Along My Commute

This time I planned ahead and uploaded the picture in reverse order of the way I wanted them and voila they are in the order I want them. Go figure! Anyway, I decided to share another view or two of my commute.
This picture is taken from the same place as the one I shared in an earlier post. However, taken a month or so later there are more fall colors now. Also with sun setting earlier, the lighting is different too. Kind of makes those colors glow. This is an angle I see on my way home from work.
I turned around to get this next picture which I see on the way too work, except this is taken after work not in the morning. Morning light is different. To get this picture I had to stand on the door facing, I guess it is, of my car. Had to do that in order to see above the vines. There is a lot of color variety now in the vineyards around us. So pretty. Some places are glowing yellow and others have the oranges and reds marching up and down and sideways on the hillsides. Living in the wine country does provide us with some beautiful scenery.

Let me guess. You live around either Napa Valley or Santa Rosa, or somewhere further south.

I don't live that far from wine country about an hour. How lucky for you, it's a beautiful drive.
