Yesterday and today I was riding up in the hills around Malibu for work. And, as is usually the case after a big rain, the sky was almost perfectly clear. The picture is looking Southeast from Deer Creek Road in Ventura County, and the big hill you can see is Palos Verdes, about 35 miles away and the other side of Los Angeles. We could also see Catalina Island, another 20 miles further away. The hills are actually green now, even in some places where the fires hit last October. Just another day in paradise.
