Winter in the Diablo Range

Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 20 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I had been dreaming about this photograph and planning for a couple of years - at last - a cold winter storm dropped snow levels to the coastal range of the San Francisco Bay Area with a plentiful amount of snow. I was able to photograph this old oak standing tall and majestic against the elements in the Diablo Range of California.

Oh my goodness. What a photograph. What a snow! This is so amazingly beautiful. Nothing but white...even the sky. I would be dreaming of this too.

And it was so worth the wait, and planning, Scott. I would chew my right arm off for a shot as stunning as this..... well maybe not actually chew it off, maybe just sink my teeth into my own flesh.... but you get my drift! ha ha

Perfection. Simply magnificent

Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States

This is just the most exquisite rendition of my very favorite tree. The snow has given it the delicate quality of a Japanese painting.

Magical capture! The tree looks so strong and wise, still poised throughout a harsh winter.
