Misty Fog at Mountain Lake

Misty Fog, October 25, 2005
After photographing a snowy hillside, I turned my attention to Mountain Lake. Fog was rising from the surface of the lake and floating off slowly in the wind. As a result, the scene kept changing, and even successive frames looked very different from one another. I like this shot because it captures the fog floating behind the empty branches of the bare tree toward the middle of the frame. The fog provides a nice contrast to the dark, bare branches and helps set off the colorful tree beside it.
