  • February Wall Art Sales

    February Wall Art Sales

    The months following the holidays tend to be slow as far as landscape wall art sales go. But, here are two of my most recent sales that a client took some final product phone pics of and send back to me. Below that is an additional images that sold as a exhibit mount metal print.…

  • Summit View, Clouds Rolling In

    Summit View, Clouds Rolling In

    Black and white summit view late in the day with the next set of clouds rolling in and another storm on the way. It truly feels like spring now, but winter stuck around in the Sierra into spring. “Miracle March” was exactly what our snowpack needed and it provided some great riding/skiing conditions throughout the…

  • Spring Storm, Clouds Lifting

    Spring Storm, Clouds Lifting

    Clouds opening up and the lake coming into view in the distance at the tail end of a spring storm. I have a feeling this was my last true winter conditions ski tour of the season. Not quite a deep powder day, but almost, and plenty of coverage for April. Lake Tahoe Basin. April 2024.

    New addition to the Lake Tahoe gallery … Old growth Juniper captured at the top of a ridegline late in the day, just before heading back down and just as an April storm cleared after two days of light snow and winds. Ancient Juniper as a Spring Storm Clears. Lake Tahoe Basin. April 2024.

  • Thompson Peak, Spring Conditions

    Thompson Peak, Spring Conditions

    Winter has clearly made a return to the Sierra recently but for a week in late March we experienced blue skies, calm winds, warm temps, and corn snow. True spring conditions. This was a new tour for me and we would definitely choose a different line on the approach next time (probably our descent line),…

  • Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo can create her own path and power through almost any amount of snow but at 12 Yuba will wait for me to go first, which is understandable. After sharing this video during the Tahoe blizzard I signed an agreement with a licensing agency to distribute the footage. It was then shown on Fox News…

  • Sierra Nevada Black and White Meadow/Mountain View, Clouds Moving in

    Sierra Nevada Black and White Meadow/Mountain View, Clouds Moving in

    This image was taken yesterday in windy conditions just before sunset, as more threatening clouds moved in. I liked that there was more light hitting the peak in the distance than the other parts of the scene. Despite the unsettled weather we are not expecting much accumulation from these mini storms, but they tend to…

  • Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)

    Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)

    This storm was impressive, to say the least. Winds were relentless and we went from having an insignificant snowpack at lake level (6,200 – 6,300 ft) to being completely buried over the course of a long weekend. For licensing inquiries please email: info@davidnbraun Location: Lake Tahoe Basin. South Lake Tahoe, CA. Dates: 2.28.24, 3.1.2, 3.2.24

  • Last Light on Fannette Island

    Last Light on Fannette Island

    I had this shot in mind for a while, having skied to this vantage point many times in the past, then dropping in on the other side of it. Example from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNS4j7OwUE The moment I set out to capture was the very last light of the day hitting Fannette Island, with fresh snow in…
