Great combination of green/grey/white/blue here! I love the effect, letting alone the beauty of this mountain. I didn't know you get snow in sunny California! Here in Spain we have the image of California = beaches (in the coast) + deserts (inland). Great to see different habitats than those! Thanks for this beautiful and instructive post!

Ooh! We also have pockets of rainforest as well, but they are not of the tropical variety. Sometimes the snow is so thick the park does not open until July, but not this year.

Very nice! Like the contrast between the barren mountain and the "greenery" in the foreground,it makes a great picture! Well done. :t:
