The story: I was out for a short morning hike at this nearby park when everything came togehter for this shot. Before this moment the light had actually been fairly lifeless but, anticipating that the clouds would break up soon, I had aimed to be on this ridge as the light came through – and this time I was lucky. The spot is actually nothing all that special and you might easily walk right past it on a hike. However, the back light behind the oak created interesting highlights on the grass, there was a beautiful light on the oaks and grass in the valley beyond, and the clouds were just breaking up over the distant ridge.
