California Oak Tree

Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 15 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

As I was hiking down the hill the sunlight began to filter through the clouds. The leaves on the trees began to show wonderful color in the early morning light. This Oak Tree was still showing beautiful Fall leaves and color.

What I'd give to sit underneath that tree, exactly in this beautiful scene and read a book, or sit and survey the tranquil countryside around me. A glorious image, Scott

@EYES WIDE SHUT: The hills in this area exist almost untouched and are the same as when the Ohlone Indians roamed the land

awesome shot. It appears that there is either some low level atmosphere or frost on the grass. Well done.

@dogilicious: The look on the grass may be due to the wind blowing also - thanks for the comments

Perfect light Scott - it pays to get out of bed early for moments like this!

I love the light on the tree, but also on the edge of the hillside as it slopes away.
Your processing is superb!
