Oak Grove, December Morning. Calero Hills, California. December 15, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
I had hiked past this beautiful grove of hilltop oaks for several years – typically on my way to some other place – before I happened to look up one morning and notice them. Now this grove has become one of my favorite subjects, and I’m working on photographing these trees in all seasons.
This image is a stitch from multiple 12 megapixel images. A recent print from the photo is three feet wide and it holds remarkable detail, such that I am certain that it can be printed much larger.
