As evidence of the nice weather from above the clouds, here are two photos taken from vantage points seldom seen by the visiting public.
Looking west across a field of western bracken ferns (Pteridium aquilinum) toward the dome of the Hale Telescope.
The dome that once housed the 18-inch Schmidt telescope standing well behind some Lupine (Lupinus albifrons, var. eminens) flowers. These purple flowers can be currently seen in bloom in many places on Palomar Mountain.

Superb photos Scott, but as an interesred visitor to Palomar I did see the beautiful dome from one of those viewpoints.
Keep up the good work!
