Early fall often brings fog to the valleys around Puget Sound. Low lying fog clings to grasses, weeds and trees, lapping at fence lines and barns. Here the low, strong rays a few minutes after dawn gives the foggy fence a rich amber glow. The contrast between the fog, fence, grasses and deep tones of the fir trees were magical.
My daughter and I were shooting the sunrise and then in pursuit of hot coffee to thaw frozen fingers and toes after having stood behind cameras on tripods in the cold for an hour we were heading towards pumpkin spice lattes. But before we could spot the local coffee house, we spotted something else more compelling, some low lying ground fog and turned down a narrow one lane black-top backroad to shoot for a few more minutes. I’m so glad we did. The foggy conditions were perfect for a number of ethereal, atmospheric shots. What about you, did you go out shooting this morning?

Beautiful capture, perfect light!
golden beauty!!!
Such a lovely shot… rainy and foggy here today also
The light is beautiful and it makes a warm, comforting little environment. I can imagine a child playing under here – or a cat curling up for a snooze.
We have been having an incredible amount of fog this week…this mornings fog didn’t dissipate until around 10:00…very unusual for us. This picture is beautiful.
P.S. I love this time of year because of the availability of the Pumpkin flavored coffees ;) Hope you finally got you a cup.
Lovely atmospheric shot, Madge. I really like the light and colours in this one.
