The Altamont Pass region. Livermore National Laboratory is right at the base of that mountain.

A little closer up. Really nice mesh!

The only thing missing here is about 10,000 - 100 ft tall windmills.

There are no words for how awesome this looked at 1280 x 960 Resolution.

Into the San Juaqin Valley

I can't tell you how many times I've driven down that highway!
