Sunrise in Gilroy California by Robert Swetz

Sunrise on Black Friday in Gilroy California from Vegas Bob

Good morning everybody and yes today is the number one shopping day of the year. Vegas Bob will not be in any shopping malls today because he doesn't like crowds.

On my drive to Las Vegas yesterday from California the sun was rising in Gilroy California, Garlic Capital of the World.

The traffic was heavy so I was only driving around 30 miles per hour. As I was driving Vegas Bob saw the sun rays beaming through the morning fog and it was breath-taking. So with one of my old cell phones I pointed it through the windshield with my right hand and snapped several photos with my iPhone Apple 4 ...

Here is the result, God's light beaming through the fog ;o)

What in the world were you doing in Gilroy at sunrise? And driving? I hope you at least got some turkey out of the trip.

Great capture although I would have pulled over to be safe. We were in Gilroy some years back about 3 weeks before the garlic festival

Hello Paul

And yes Gilroy is considered the Garlic Capital of the World

Gilroy is well known for its garlic crop and for the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival, featuring various garlicky foods, including garlic ice cream. Gilroy also produces mushrooms in considerable quantity. Gilroy's nickname is "Garlic Capital of the World".
