Top photo has no trees on the Ridgeline, so it’s unlikely to be a seasonal difference.
My guess is either people cut down the trees in the top photo and they grew back or it’s in a warm typically grasslands environment that would normally have a forest fire cycle keeping trees from germinating, but years of forest fire suppression allowed trees to encroach.
