A stand of oaks at Almaden Quicksilver Park; taken on New Years Day 2005. I rediscovered this image tonight while sorting through old photgraphs from earlier in the years.

Oak Grove and Fog. Almaden Quicksilver Park. October 22, 2005. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

This is one of my favorite spots at Almaden Quicksilver Park south of San Jose. There is a cluster of oak trees on a small ridge covered with grass. In the fall and winter it receives interesting light as the fog begins to clear.

This image used a bit of (actually, a lot of) Photoshop trickery, including two layers of sharpening and a diffused luminosity blend layer.
