I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ~e.e. cummings

Thanks for looking!
I've been really busy the last couple months but I finally had a chance to head out and shoot; and I was lucky enough that the sky was filled with some amazing light over the La Jolla Shores. The tide was transitioning and pushing it's way to the shore; with each passing wave it filled the channel and caused the sea water to flow over the sandstone shoreline. The sky was glowing with some amazing blue and pink hues that made it look like I could stick a paper stick up in the sky and spin it like they do at the fair to get some cotton candy.

A View From Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
3 bracket shots - merged and lightly tonemapped in Photomatix Pro
It's pretty cool to be above clouds - while on foot instead of in a plane. Once again, another storm system entered the Shenandoah Valley. Heavy rains fell for a few days due to the remnants of Tropical Depression Lee and produced this spectacular sight yesterday morning. The best 'fog ocean' I've seen at SNP since April of this year. But then again, it only happens a few times each year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An excerpt from the Guide To SNP and Skyline Drive:
To a large extent, the mountain causes fog. Moving air masses must rise to get over the mountain. As the air rises, it expands and cools; if the air is moist, cooling may cause moisture to precipitate as tiny droplets, and produce the clouds that we call fog.
Half a dozen times a year, an atmospheric inversion may produce a strange effect: fog lies like a soft white blanket on the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont, while the mountaintop is clear. Then you can look down on a "fog ocean," with the lower peaks rising above it like islands.

To truly appreciate the magnitude of a fog system like this is to see it firsthand. I finally captured some video footage to go along with my post (see link below). Sometimes photos don't do justice - check out the video clip if you have a spare minute.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
