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).

Through the haze you can see the San Jose skyline. Because the downtown area lies along the flight path to the San Jose International Airport, there is a height limit on all buildings.
Visible here are the Fairmont, Hilton, and Marriott Hotels, the Adobe Building, the Sobrato Office Tower, and more.
