Oak Snag. Calero Hills, California. January 20, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell. (Sales)

The story: I frequently hike to this tree in the Calero Hills and I have photographed it several times in the past. This time I was attracted by the fog drifting in the background, the similarity between the shape of the uplifted branches and the clouds, the two oaks in the background, and the litter of dropped branches in the foreground.
