Misty Tehachapie Mountains

This is the Tehachapie Mountains in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley during an early morning when the Tule fog (/ˈtuːliː/) has settled in the valley.

Tule fog forms from late fall through early spring (California's rainy season) after the first significant rainfall. Because it was so  early in the morning I had to crank the ISO up so high on the camera it made a very noisy image. I used a series of de-noise filtering processes and this is the result.

I have printed up a few of these pretty large and it is one of my images that resemble the ancient classic Asian style paintings.

From "Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition" my personal project of exploration in the North American Wilderness. I am on a mission to raise awareness of our Iconic Natural Heritage Treasures of North America.

Please re-steemit if you like what you see and want to help spread the word!
