Mount Tamalpais from Point Isabel Regional Park.

The nickname for the mountain apparently comes from a Victorian-era tale (falsely attributed to indigenous Miwok tribal folklore) in which the mountain represents a woman sleeping while lying on her side. From a little farther north the profile resemblance is more striking. My band once played at the Sleeping Lady Cafe in Fairfax, a town near the base of the mountain.

Mind your horizon and highlights. Whites are blown out and all the water is going to leak out of the left side with the tilt.

How fast is that water flowing at that angle?
