Southern California winter weather.
I'm sure many if not all of you heard about the unusual weather we have been having.
Not to fret. Some of us diehard photogs went out and challenged the elements to get a few rare shots of the snow capped mountains surrounding Los Angeles and the beach.
That is unusual! Thanks for sharing.

Nice views, very much like some of the shots I got yesterday (unprocessed and multiple shots for panoramas) from a turn around in front of a gated community halfway up the north slope of the Santa Ana's looking across Corona to the San Gabriel Mountains.
No snow I saw on the Santa Ana's but in spite of wearing sweatpants and hoodie sweatshirt over my clothes the breeze was rather "brisk". Even in bright sunshine.

A local TV weather guy stated that 90% of the population of California could "see snow" if the air was clear enough, or of course if they lived where it snowed. Not too far from me, someone posted a picture of their street with palm trees covered in snow.
Thanks for posting. Out daughter and her family are in the middle of this weather. Had rain, hail, snow flakes, then snowing hard yesterday, all within a couple hours. They're in Valencia.

Brisk is an understatement. I wasn’t paying attention and the wind knocked my camera and tripod over. Got a few new scratches but fortunately. The lens is ok.

Lucky, I once bumped my tripod and a 7DII and 100-400L mk2 went over, dented the lens hood which twisted the rig, so the camera body took the rest of the impact. It wrenched and deformed the mount ring. The lens was fine, and I bent the hood back into shape, but it was 500 dollars to replace the mount and the dented bottom plate plus to inspect and tweak everything back to factory specs. I live a bit over 30 miles from the Southern California Canon Service Center, so the repair was easy to get done. It took 3 days, the tech told me if he didn't have a number of repairs ahead of mine, he could have done my camera in three hours while I waited and watched.

Hope it's not your "newest" lens!
Great shots!
Beautiful images - wonderful set!
