Home Valley Bluff

Here is one more shot from my recent excursion. This was taken last Sunday morning. The morning started off windy with no fog in the valley. I decided to just sit at this beautiful spot and admire the morning and I began to notice a small amount of fog building in the distance. It continued to grow and before long it engulfed me before receding again.

I captured this shot as the fog was receding from a white out. I am not sure what causes this, but I have noted that Tim often comments on clouds forming from his deck in the early morning hours. If anyone has a scientific reason why this happens, I would be interested in hearing it.

love the sky

Tom,
Is that Tea Table Rocks in the foreground there? I LOVE how the rock formations and then the trees lead my eye right to the bluff. I would think that this spot should be very good come fall color time. Perhaps I will meet you there!

Yeah it is that time of the morning...I'm just finishing a little work at the real world job...anesthesia is not for the folks who must sleep at night...cause lotsa times we don't.

Tom - Cold air flows downward into the valley dropping air temp to the dewpoint and below. That is what forms fog. As more air descends into the valley the fog slowly rises up until it hits warmer air. Wind and sunshine tend to reverse the process.

This is beautitiful, Tom...glad to see you got some fog. I can't think of a better place to watch the sun come up than Tea Table rocks.

Super nice. You were well rewarded.

Great shot Tom.
The diagonal line across the tea tables through the trees and into the bluff then back across the horizon makes for excellent balance.

Thanks for the comments. Bob, fall should be a great at Home Valley Bluff. Daniel thanks for the explanation about the fog.

Hey Tom. Really great shot...there is a lot of excitement in just about every area. If I didn't know where this spot was, it would be driving me crazy right now trying to find out. That's an interesting story about the fog forming.

As the saying goes ... patience has its rewards. Beautiful shot Tom.

Great shot Tom glad you caught some fog in the valley. I haven't captured any there yet. Really a nice shot.

Wonderful light, great conditions and excellent composition.
