The hills of the Bay Area are endless sources of inspiration, for photography, hiking, and wandering. On this brisk morning, I decided to go for a hike at the crack of dawn, to get above the fog inversion and see what the first light would bring. It was quite a treat, and the clear air allowed me to capture it in high resolution as a VAST photo! It was amazing to watch the fog changing constantly, with the trees and homes of my hometown poking above. I intentionally kept the grass in the foreground soft, to add to the magical mood. See my profile for another image from the same morning that is even higher resolution, but this one is still very highly detailed and the light here is one of the most special moments I have experienced in the north bay.
This image is part of my Awaken series, which showcases the beauty of little-known areas, with the goal of inspiring locals to explore and love our backyard. As of the time of publishing, there is no other image like this in existence. There will undoubtedly be attempts to duplicate it, but few will succeed with the conditions and method required for a large print. As with most images in the Awaken series, serious buyers may choose to have the location revealed to them. I hope you enjoy it!

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
