Mountain Snow, Pretty As A Postcard From Dana Point: Patch Photo

Yes, we usually share photos aimed the other way, but this week in Dana Point we are looking east toward the mountain snow from Dana Point.

DANA POINT, CA — This jaw dropping picture, shared by Orange County resident Jim Alvey, shows that the best views from South County aren't always ocean sunsets. After the storm headed into the Saddleback Mountain range, closing the Ortega Highway Thursday with snow and ice covered roads, residents were left with this stunning postcard worthy picture.

Orange County loves it when there is snow in our mountains, and this photo Alvey captured tells that story, beautifully. See his other submission here, where Hail Falls In San Juan Capistrano: Patch Photo Of The Day
