Thanks to you both for your comments... MFC, this is a small walking track close to Taupo, New Zealand called "Craters of the Moon"
Irish, this is actually steam coming from a blowhole in the bottom of a large hole in the ground. The image is as taken, uncroppped and unmodified :o)

Intriquing ghostly imprint Paul,that seems to be waving at us from behind the veil..Nice to have included the reality of the snow bank[?] with a nice fade.. It actaully adds to the immpression of whats underneath..Neat image and concept! .~ Irish

Paul, I like how the steam overwhelms most of the scene...with the hint of a rocky background. I especially like the presence of your long shadow cast...like a "spirit" emerging. Good idea, Paul...where exactly were you? MFC
