What can I say (after reading all the previous comments)? Just that I do agree with all of them: Striking, gorgeous, beautiful; and, if I may add, jrdu: somewhat mysterious as well with those buildings in the background we only can feel, not see (not really, that is)! -- db.

Very striking image, John. Those shadowy buildings off in the fog are a great contrast to the serenity of the park.

Gorgeous John - B&W is perfect here, and the fence delivers such a strong and effective meaning - the fogged and faded city encroaching beyond, yet seen from the tranquil and protective space within the fence, trying to keep it at bay or at least provide an escape and separation from it.

Nice catch. Sometimes fog/mist can be a hinderence, but here it makes the shot!

Beautiful image - I love the fog and the barely visible buildings in the distance!
