The Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers have provided us with amazing displays of mist during this cold snap. I don't know if commuters appreciate the morning light show, but I've been having fun. I shot this one at the Monitor Park (just upstream from Wenatchee) on Tuesday. I had to clone out a bunch of power lines on the hill R of the sun.
Three exposures, blended by hand (not HDR).

Another decent image with great light. The middle part of the comp isn't doing a lot for me, but its not ugly either.

It's interesting - like a cold to warm transition by viewing from left to right.... It looks crispy cold!

I saw this one coming with your ice post last week. Nice work with the exposure.

Another nice one from this little series you have going Marc. Way to get out there and capture the ice while you can.

Good dynamic range. on this one. The two types lighting is unique as Ned mentioned. I'll vote yes on this shot.

Beautiful Marc. I would _really_ be digging this if I hadn't seen the prior one first

Thanks for the comments, guys.
Well, the show is over now with a weak storm front that moved in on Saturday. It was great while it lasted. I have taken more keeper images this week than I ever have in such a concentrated period of time. I'm dedicating these shots, and my "Ice Series" on NPN, to Marc Adamus, who inspired me to get out early morning and late evening for the awesome winter light. It never occurred to me before. Thanks, Marc.
And thanks to the rest of you for helping me up the learning curve. It's totally fun.
I really like the juxtapositioning of ice and warm light here. It seems abnormally low on the contrast.

Beautiful scene, Marc. I'll ditto Trevor's comment about the low contrast, particularly in the near foreground. The warm light and cool blues of the rocks are a sweet compliment to one another.
I'd suggest alternating between dodging and burning the foreground a few times to preferentially darken the darks and brighten the brights.

There... That's about as much tweaking as I dare. I dodged and burned as you suggested, and after looking at the histogram, did a slight S-curve to the lower middle portion of the RGB.
