A 360 degree rooftop view on a beautiful spring day in the Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose, CA, located in the foothills of the East Hills / Diablo Range. With the spring rains, the hills are briefly green before the summer turns them golden. In the distance, you can see across the South Bay to the Santa Cruz Mountains and just make out downtown San Jose through the haze. Quimby Road, the major street visible in the panorama, separates the older houses built in the 70's from the new construction in the 2000's, including Evergreen Valley High School, which all sits on land that was formerly vineyards (Mirassou Winery). |

The foothills of the Diablo Range overlook the Evergreen Valley area of San Jose, California. These hills will become brown in a few weeks, but for now they are covered in green grass and patches of yellow mustard. |

San Jose's City Hall and Rotunda, along with people on strike!
City Hall to the left is the tallest building in San Jose, at 87m or 285ft. It was constructed with 14.4 million pounds of structral steel and 26,000 cubic yards of concrete. The rotunda dome to the right is composed of 1,032 pieces of glass. City Hall was originally planned to be 320 feet, but did not pass the FAA approval due to the building's proximity to the airport's flight path. Both structures took $343 million |
