This was my first trip to Calero County Park. The park is in San Jose but feels a world part from Silicon Valley. Unlike the parks closer the urban centers, Calero feels like wilderness and is blissfully uncrowded.

The sun sets on a cold March day at Panther Beach, just south of Davenport, CA

This morning had the high thin clouds that typically make for a gorgeous sunset so I was hoping for a colorful show. By the time sunset rolled around, it had become quite overcast with a layer of marine fog so the sunset was muted. Even so, I was able to make an interesting image.
