This was photographed on the forest floor at Muir Woods in very low, evening light. (I hear that yesterday was the 100th anniversary of Muir Woods.)

This photograph was made in near darkness after sunset on the winter solstice. These steps lead up to a side trail above the main trail along the bottom of the canyon at Muir Woods.
Oak Tree, December. Calero Hills, California. December 15, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
If you follow my photography at all, by now you may recognize that California oak trees are among my favorite subjects. Photographed in December, this tree is south of the San Francisco Bay Area and sits on a grassy hillside nearly by itself.
