Sunset and godrays over the coastal range of California, from the summit of Borel Hill in Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve.

A cold evening to go for a hike at Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, the winds were howling as the tail end of a cold front was moving through. The wind was howling, blowing fog and clouds fast across the sky. As the sun began to reach the horizon, it started shining through the coastal fog creating rays of beautiful light down in the hills in the distance.
