Sutter Buttes & Konocti

Came across this while deleting images from last year from my hard drive.
If you start with the ridge in the lower left hand corner....on the third ridge on left side is Pike Co. Lookout. Next, out in the middle of the central valley is Sutter Buttes. Some call it the smallest mountain range in the world....others say it's the southern end of the Cascades. Beyond that...to the west....in the middle of the farthest range is Mt. Konockti, towards the coast.
Lots of smoke in the twilight due to fires October 2004.

Nikon D70
1/60s f/5.6 at 170.0mm full exif

This is a great shot! I took one of the Buttes two years later, also during a large fire in August. I'm way down on the valley floor, however. Wonderful colors!
