Description
I live by the Sacramento River. This image is a real forest near the protected lands that are adjacent to the riverbanks. Historical records say that John Sutter planted trees in the area (Cottonwood trees and Oak Trees) in the late 1800's so these trees have thrived here for nearly 100 years. Some people who have viewed my images have said that they worry that the vines restrict the water supply for the trees but since they are so close to the river, I believe they share their eco system in harmony. I have photographed these trees in all the different seasons and every time, I marvel that the landscape seems to look futuristic and a bit unreal. But I used minimal editing tools and no AI to create this image.
