Switchbacks above Palm Springs

April 3, 2007

There are seven golf courses in this photo. Can you spot them all?

(I’m kind of amazed by how much the wide angle here flattens out the terrain: we’re actually looking down a really steep slope — those switchbacks aren’t for show. The temperature dropped by about ten degrees crossing from one side of the divide to the other.
