Found this scene while driving back down the mountain from Idyllwild, CA back toward the Hemet area, on Hwy 243 as you wind down the mountain. You can see Diamond Valley Lake in this shot. I really enjoyed the interesting cloud formations with the visible rain coming down over Hemet. I got out of the car & hiked a bit in order to include the rocky rolling hills, and trees in the shot.
What a gorgeous sky on this day! I set out on a journey to capture wine country in Temecula, CA and found this beautiful scene at Leonesse Cellars, taken from their driveway. These perfectly sculpted trees provided a lovely framework for this shot, which I feel wonderfully represents the rolling hills of the Temecula wine country.
