Not all adventures are successful to the degree you want. At some point exploring is just that. Trial and error. I live in Oakland California. The city is pressed up against hills. These hills guard against the sunrise to the east so in order to observe this impressive daily occurence one must rise up into the hills to meet it. I often go to the same location because it is one of the highest peaks and always has an impressive view. Like anyone though this can become repetitive so this day I ventured into a new spot. The results were mixed as the geography is scattered with many opportunities to view the sun. Here are some of the photos from this attempt.
