This picture was taken in October 2007 and shows the highlands around my hometown of Dresden, Germany.

Valley Forge National Historical Park, Pennsylvania, USA.

This lonely tree has always been in my head, but whenever I drove by I was without my camera. This time I was prepared.

While the entire ski resort was overcast and had to deal with a snow storm I decided to try my luck higher up the mountain. The clouds suddenly disappeared and all I could think about was capturing the moment. The contrast between the storm under the clouds with the Sun shining above made this an even more mesmerizing moment.
