Vertical photograph of light snow on desert mountainside. The mountain face appears quite steep, with sparse pinon pines higher up, hints of craggy outcrops in the middle, and erosional patterns low. The snow thins and stops along a horizontal band 2/3 of the way down. Below snowline, the slopes appear dark brown and barren. The scene is lit by just a touch of pale yellow directional sunlight, which emphasizes the folded gullies of the mountainside.
