I had been noticing this lone tree in the middle of this flat plain for several trips. It was at sunrise that I saw the massive clouds and grabbed my 4x5 gear and ran half a mile from the road and quickly checked several angles and elevations. Finally was happy, the sun broke just right, behind the tree...many miles away.

Subsequently this image has been juried into two shows. One at the Topanga Canyon Gallery "2015 Juried Show" and the other at the "Through A Curious Lens" show at the Santa Cruz Art League.
