I'm fascinated photographing winter natural landscape. Since I'm living in warm Southern California, I normally have to drive several hours to see snowy mountains.Luckily, there was a snow storm in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in San Diego County; about 1 hour from San Diego.
When I got there, it was still snowing. The snow brought a fantastic winter atmosphere in the high desert country. The wildfire burned a large part of its forest in 2003. The survived trees and snow creates an interesting contrast.
Cuyamaca Mountain isn't as high as Sierras, so snow would last only a few days. I enjoyed unexpexted snow near home.
