Early morning Mist

The weather forecast said early morning mist followed by sunny spells. That sounded interesting, so I dragged myself out of bed at silly o'clock to get to a nearby hill before sunrise because after all, that's the best light isn't it? I even got there before the dog-walkers arrived. As I climbed up the winding track the world began to disappear until, at the top, there was a complete whiteout. I tried taking pictures at different exposures for a while but it seemed like there was very little to see - just fog! I hung around for a couple of hours imagining how nice the rocks would look once the sun had appeared to delicately light them from the side, but even my camera started to object to the damp conditions and the screen refused to work. I gave up, telling myself I must be watching too many Youtube videos where the photographer always comes away with at least one or two good shots. This picture was taken from the next hill on the other side of the road once the clouds began to part. Well, I can always imagine I'm in the Scottish Highlands.
