Joshua Tree National Park, California
For the past couple of months +Khris Griffis and I have been shamelessly stalking this shot. Earlier this summer we spontaneously discovered this spot in Malibu where the fog blows in from the Malibu coast line and into the canyons. When this happens, we coined it "Clouder Fall." I have captured some great moments of the fog rolling over the canyon ridge in the past during sunset, but have been dreaming of getting the fog pooled in the canyon under a blank set of stars. So after a ridiculously amount of failed trips and countless checking on weather sites, we finally got our day.
Far above in the Santa Monica Mountains there is this road called Pluma Road. I offen refer to it as Pumba, simply because Pumba is way cooler then Pluma. What's so cool about Pumba is that when we get fog rolling in from the coast, it begins to pool and fall through the crest of each of the mountain ridges... For this, I have coined the term, Clouderfall. This happened again the other week, but this time we strayed away from the typical road viewing point and went up a bit further.
