A Distant View: Photo Of The Day

CASRTO VALLEY, CA — “Deep down, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical.” ~ Carl Sagan

Back in April when everything was still green from winter and spring rains, Rick Kelly snapped this photo of the hills around Upper San Leandro Reservoir from the Soaring Hawk Trail in Anthony Chabot Park.

What an inspiring site. Thank you, Rick!

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.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
