Sunset from the summit of Borel Hill, Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. Russian Ridge is located along highway 35 in the Santa Cruz mountains and boasts incredible views west over the mountains towards the pacific ocean. On evenings after a storm moves through, the lingering clouds can create some incredible sunsets. However the evenings can get cold and windy, as the grass laying on its side from the wind in this photo can attest.
