Sadly no, I did not take these. They've been on a few local web sites as well as passed around in various emails.

The city I live in.
Cupertino Crossroads, Cali & Bros. Feed & Grain. c.1930s

Cupertino Crossroads, now Cali Mill Plaza 2007. The building in the back used to be Apple Computer's headquarters, now part of the Cupertino City Center.

Fremont Older Open Space Preserve/Silicon Valley. My backyard, is at the base of these hills and about 4 miles from the Crossroads. You can see San Jose downtown in the distance.

As long as you can ignore the damage (if any) from tornadoes, they sure can look pretty.

I work in the little yellow box in the first two pics.
The last is the skyline I see most of the time: Minneapolis Minnesota

I like this view of downtown Seattle with Mt. Ranier in the background, taken from the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood. My brother has a house on the south side of the hill with this view from his living room and upstairs/downstairs decks. Nice view, still wouldn't want to deal with accompanying city living headaches, but nice view bro!

Another view of Big D from Ch 8 WFAA I captured off their Web TowerCam just as the sun was going down, reflecting off a building.
