Bathed in the final golden light of day, this photograph captures the quiet majesty of Black Mountain—known by locals as “Elephant Mountain” for its distinctive, gentle profile. The tallest peak near Tomales Bay, it rises with a quiet grace above the rolling hills of West Marin. Taken just as darkness settled in the valleys, the sun’s last rays kissed the upper slopes, igniting the grasses in a fleeting moment of brilliance. I was already standing in shadow when I made this image—watching light and land say their last words to each other for the day.
Now available as a fine art print, this piece brings the timeless beauty of California’s coastal hills into your space—a reminder of nature’s quiet drama, and a place that feels like home even if you’ve never been.
