{"product_id":"downtown-truckee-ca-a-winter-wonderland","title":"Downtown Truckee: A Winter Wonderland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe winter wonderland of Downtown Truckee, a photo I had been thinking about for over a year. I thought about getting this last winter, but never got around to it, so I really wanted to make sure I got it this year. It was early February, and no snow had fallen for a while, so I told myself, next snowfall, I have to get it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnow was coming. The Sierra's were projected to get 7 feet in a week. I was ecstatic and stressed at the same time. I wanted to get it at dusk or dawn, fresh after a storm, so the trees would still have snow in them. So for the whole week, I cleared my schedule and all I could do was sit in my living room and constantly check the weather forecast and the road conditions to see when I could get the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series of blizzards had passed, and the forecast said there would be a break in the clouds in the morning. Only problem was... the roads were closed. The snow stopped around 3pm, so I hoped they would open in time for me to make it. I sat in my living room doing my usual stressed out pacing, constantly checking the roads and the weather. Then, at 10pm, I saw they were open... I was going to make it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI woke up at 3:45am as excited as ever. I drove up the pass, through the chain controls, hoping the roads around the town were clear enough to get to the viewpoint. I had to park a little farther away than usual, but nonetheless, I made it. I would have to walk about 200 feet over the powdery snow to get to the hillside. My first step, I sunk in up to my hip. Then after a few more, I fell in up to my chest. As I struggled to take my next step, I began to wonder, \"am I making a mistake? Am I going to get stuck in this and need to be rescued?\" Then I thought, \"after all the stress I went through I have to get it.\" I found a way to take another step and kept going. I finally made it to the hillside and carved out some space in the snow to set up my tripod. I got there at the exact time I was hoping for, so I immediately started taking photos. The town dimly lit, just waking up after a blizzard, it was the shot I had been dreaming of. I drove home that day never feeling so relieved. What I had to go through to get this is one is something I will never forget. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scotty Tang Photo","offers":[{"title":"Canvas \/ 12x18","offer_id":49912119591189,"sku":"Canvas12x18","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 16x24","offer_id":49783845716245,"sku":"Canvas16x24","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 20x30","offer_id":49783845749013,"sku":"Canvas20x30","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 24x36","offer_id":49783845781781,"sku":"Canvas24x36","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 30x45","offer_id":49783845814549,"sku":"Canvas30x45","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 40x60","offer_id":49791565889813,"sku":"Canvas40x60","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 12x18","offer_id":49912119623957,"sku":"Paper12x18","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 16x24","offer_id":49783845880085,"sku":"Paper16x24","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 20x30","offer_id":49783845912853,"sku":"Paper20x30","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 24x36","offer_id":49783845945621,"sku":"Paper24x36","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 30x45","offer_id":49783845978389,"sku":"Paper30x45","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 40x60","offer_id":49791565922581,"sku":"Paper40x60","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 12x18","offer_id":49912119656725,"sku":"Metal12x18","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 16x24","offer_id":49783846043925,"sku":"Metal16x24","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 20x30","offer_id":49783846076693,"sku":"Metal20x30","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 24x36","offer_id":49783846109461,"sku":"Metal24x36","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 30x45","offer_id":49783846142229,"sku":"Metal30x45","price":825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 40x60","offer_id":49791565955349,"sku":"Metal40x60","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 12x18","offer_id":49912119689493,"sku":"Acrylic12x18","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 16x24","offer_id":49783846207765,"sku":"Acrylic16x24","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 20x30","offer_id":49783846240533,"sku":"Acrylic20x30","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 24x36","offer_id":49783846273301,"sku":"Acrylic24x36","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 30x45","offer_id":49783846306069,"sku":"Acrylic30x45","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 40x60","offer_id":49791565988117,"sku":"Acrylic40x60","price":1300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5649\/0005\/files\/Truckee_Small_2.jpg?v=1776740443","url":"https:\/\/scottytangphoto.com\/products\/downtown-truckee-ca-a-winter-wonderland","provider":"Scotty Tang Photo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
