Another picture, same series...
The second peak (left) is Mt. Diablo. Or rather one of Mt. Diablo's peaks. In addition to being an interesting mountain, Mt. Diablo is also a California State Park. On the right you can see a gouged area in the hill that was caused by coal strip mining. Once upon a time there was coal mining in the Mt. Diablo area, until about the 1920's when sand mining took over. It is now museum material. That area is directly behind Black Diamond Mines. It probably was a part of Black Diamond Mines, or else it was a completely different mine. Mt. Diablo State Park acquired the remains of some coal mines in the 1970's. So I suspect that hillside is also the boundary of Mt. Diablo State Park. I think this is a pleasing little pastoral picture of Mt. Diablo. ;-) http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/diablo.htm Comments welcome.
