This, folks, is why they call it the Golden State.
This fantastic shot “somewhere in the valley between Petaluma and Bodega Bay, California,” was nicely captured by Gadling reader StormyGirl. I can just imagine her sitting on the hillside with her boyfriend, wine and cheese at hand, enjoying this fine view. Mother Nature sure tipped her hand on this one!
