Tehachapie Mountains In the Morning Tule Fog

This is the Tehachapie Mountains in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley during an early morning when the Tule fog (/ˈtuːliː/) has settled in the valley. 

Tule fog forms from late fall through early spring (California's rainy season) after the first significant rainfall. Because it was so early in the morning I had to crank the ISO up so high on the camera it made a very noisy image. I used a series of de-noise filtering processes and this is the result. 

I have printed up a few of these pretty large and it is one of my images that resemble the ancient classic Asian style paintings.      

Yehaw!
