The card interior photomontage was compiled in the "computer darkroom". Elements were selected from over 75 of my favorite photographs of Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, the Sierra range, and beyond. These image fragments were digitally composited into a quasi-realistic (but fanciful) montage depicting an early springtime visit to Mt. Hamilton, in late afternoon just before sunset, with a full moon rising in the east above Half Dome. The original source photographs were acquired during the years 2000 to 2007.

FRONT COVER:

LICK OBSERVATORY appears in the same antique type font on the card cover as it does on the brick facade of the Main Building entry portal, which was remodeled in 1929 after sustaining earthquake damage in preceeding decades. The Victorian-era structure first opened in 1888.
