A heavy morning fog at Valdez. You can't hardly tell, but this shot is overlooking the water and beach on the South side of the bay.

ISO-160, f8.0, 1/500

Gary, This is really nice. Excellent work on your comp here. Those trees look great with just enough opening in the fog to make a wonderful image with lots of mood. :smile:

I agree, you can hardly tell what this is a picture of! This type of image does catch ones' interest by being a challenge to try to figure it out. I like the peeks of mountain tops and the varying patches of lighter areas in the sky. Very moody image and great for the theme, Gary. :smile:

Yeah, this looks a lot like what I see every morning when I first open my eyes...murky with scattered bits of clarity. :biggrin: Neat view through the layers of clouds to the water in the distance.

That back ridge that is peeking through the clouds suggests that something really big and dramatic is lurking behind the mists. I really like the two most prominent tree-lines and the lowest bright area. Excellent image.
