Oaks in Fog, Santa Monica Mountains, 1978

The image depicts a forest scene in black and white, where tall, leafless trees stretch their branches towards the misty sky, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere. The fog envelopes the background, obscuring the details and adding to the surreal and tranquil ambiance. Shadows and light interplay to enhance the dramatic, almost haunting mood of the photograph. Dry leaves cover the forest floor, emphasizing the desolation and quietude of the setting. The overall composition captures the stark beauty and stillness of nature.
