Painted Sky and Water: Photo Of The Day

If not for the vegetation, it would be hard to tell where the sky ends and the water begins!

ALAMEDA, CA — A beautiful sunset calms the soul - even when you're just looking at a photograph of one. Patch reader Eric Schmidt snapped this photo from the Alameda Estuary in June 2015. If he hadn't supplied the date, we could have easily thought that this had been taken in the last week - our sunsets have been spectacular.

Thank you for sharing this photo, Eric!

Are you going through your memory card to pick photos for a Christmas card? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch. Send us your favorite shot of the year. (Or, like Eric, from 2015!)
