Spring Morning, Calero Hills

Spring Morning, Calero Hills

Spring Morning, Calero Hills. Santa Clara County, California. March 8, 2008. G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

This is a stitch of four 12MP frames, the result being a highly detailed image that should hold up as a 2′ x 4′ print. (It is probably getting a bit “old” to hear me reporting that the actual image contains far more detail that can possibly be shown in a web-sized image… so I won’t. :-)

This photograph was made along a familiar trail – actually a bit off the familiar trail – in a park I frequently visit in the southern portion of Santa Clara County.

Colorful autumn oak leaves in Yosemite Valley with granite rock behind. I visit the Valley every fall near the end of October for the spectacular fall color show. I found these leaves along a trail behind the Valley Chapel.
