A Sea Of Low Clouds-Giles County

My oldest son who also enjoys photography was visiting and so we decided to do a sunrise photo shoot from an overlook near Mountain Lake Hotel best known for "Dirty Dancing " movie fame. The entire valley was covered by ground fog which really came alive when the sun briefly broke through the upper cloud cover. This is one of our favorite places to do a photo shoot that is also come to where I live.

An excellent capture of the low lying fog, the light is gorgeous glowing through the fog it gives the appearance of a lake in the distance, beautiful work Dave! BV Barbara

A beautiful scene and you are correct about the atmosphere kissing the water gently. I find the sky is beautiful in color and cloud formations and putting a bit of color on the ground fog. Brilliant exposure all high lights in check and resolution and image size prime. Vote+
