Like most people, you get desensitized to your own surroundings, but when you think about it, one person's "boring" is the next person's "beautiful", so I wanted to share my typical view with the rest of the world.
This photo was taken halfway up the mountain road to Shaver Lake in Central California 2 days after Christmas.
After parking on the side of the road, I hiked 15 minutes up the tallest hill nearby and captured photos in all directions while a small family of coyotes watched from 100 feet away.
It may look warm and inviting, but it was below 40 degrees when I first got there around 5:30AM, but there's nothing better than sitting in the quiet nature for a while.
