A few miles away from each other

If you don't like the weather in California, drive to the next microclimate. If you are sick of how cold it is, go east and eventually you will hit desert. If you want to see snow, go up. If you want to ski and scuba dive in the same day, you can. On the other hand, if you want rain every day, you need to go north to Seattle, because we've got a rainy season in the wintertime and that's it.

I went on a nice mountain climbing bike ride yesterday and I took two shots a few hours apart and separated by some miles:

The nice part, of course, about biking up a mountain as opposed to driving it... besides the health benefits, of course... is that I can stop wherever the heck I want to take pictures.
