Snowy Sunrise atop a Sequoia

The winter sun rises over the snowy, tree covered hills of the Sierra Nevada range, filling the sky with a warm yellow glow. The air is cold and crisp as we enjoy a bird's eye view from the lofty heights of an ancient Sequoia tree.

Sierra Nevada - Last Light

Inspired by my trip through the beauty of California in 2018, here we see the last light of day fall across the Sierra Nevada range. Only the mountains and tree tops are illuminated as shadows sweep across the rest of the wild landscape.

Snowy Sequoia Solitude


Continuing the theme of isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, here we have a different take on the concept. A lone, ancient sequoia stands in a snowy forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains, far away from civilization. While there are other trees around, none of them have experienced all that this mighty tree has in its thousand or more years of life, so it is still alone, in a way.
