Sunlight, Capitol Park, Sacramento, 1979

In this black and white photograph, sunlight pierces through the dense canopy of towering trees, casting ethereal beams of light onto the forest floor, which is dappled with shadows and patches of light. The scene evokes serenity, with the majestic trees standing tall, their textured trunks and widespread branches reaching upwards, enveloped in a soft haze. The interplay of light and shadow creates a mystical ambiance, with the gentle sun rays illuminating the lush foliage and casting intricate patterns on the ground.
