Snowy Santa Cruz Mountains

Did a morning drive to the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains to checkout the
rare snowfall around the bayarea. All the major peaks in the area had
significant snowfall during this recent cold snap.

Shot at Saratoga Gap OSP.

And we were just mountain biking here under a blue sky just a couple of weeks ago.

I love how the picture starts out crisp and clear in the bottom right corner and progresses into the fog. Beautifully done!

unusual view.. I love the tones and mood

Great photograph, Bryan - there's a soft quality and yet, with that branch on the right, it's got a 3D effect, too.

I agree with Buz! Excellent. GMV

Really nice elements in this one: the snow, the curved path, the fence and of course the mist. VOTE.

Excellent image Brian. For sure this one gets my vote too. :)

Lloyd & Sandy Spitalnik		20-Feb-2006 07:14
Your timing seems perfect as it looks like the sun was about to shine through and melt the snow. Also like the crisp leaves in the upper right. Beautiful shot. VOTED Sandy

Um, Bryan? Fantastic shot and all with the fog and the light. But snow? Oh, I think not...this is a mere dusting. Still....GMV.

Very nice scenery.

Karen Stuebing		19-Feb-2006 11:50
This is one of the prettiest landscapes I've seen. The fog contrasts wonderfully with the sharp details on the leaf and the fence adds interest.
