Description
I walked into an area about a mile from the nearest road, trying to get a photograph of the sun rising above the river valley below. I was a bit behind schedule and thought I wasn't going to make it in time. But the morning was really socked in by fog and you never really know how that's going to play out so I kept going. The last 10-15 minute leg was without trails and as I finally reached the location I was looking for, the fog had just lifted...was sinking into the valley below...the sky was amazing and although the sun's disc had crested a few minutes before, it was still held back some by the lingering fog. I frantically setup the tripod...I just did not know how long the view would persist. I got some exposures made in the next 30-60 seconds, and the fog once more covered the entire view - wow, was I ever lucky!
