Lifting fog, Endicott Arm, Alaska, 2013

The thousand foot high cliffs lining the sides of Endicott Arm were wreathed in fog for much of the morning cruise through this fjord. When it began to lift, I made this long telephoto image of alternating bands of fog rising between rhythmically repeating stands of trees along the sides of the cliff. The eye is ultimately drawn to a startling patch of pure blue sky, squeezed between the receding strips of fog and the layer of overhead clouds. Such is the process of weather itself, expressed here on a grand scale.

Excellent point, Rose. A landscape should be vital, throbbing with life. The lifting fog offers a curtain raiser for the "Theatre of the Gods" here.
