East of Fresno, California there are many, many orange orchards. What I found fascinating is that the farmers trim the trees flat on all sides. I’m sure there is a reason for that but it’s an interesting landscape to see cubes of trees as far as the eye can see. Well, almost as far.

What is stunning in Winter is the deep blue sky and the snow capped mountains.

The two together makes for a curious fantastic view of Winter in California as I have illustrated below.
