These line of young trees was taken Dec. 26 on a very foggy morning. I have looked at these trees for months knowing that they might make a good picture with fog. When i awoke to see fog on this morning I went right out to these trees and took some shots...this is one of them. Still think I can get a better composition and will on next foggy morning:)) I converted the picture to black and white as I think gives better effect.

I love the angle that you took this shot. The fog gives it kind of an eerie feeling...like something is going to appear all of a sudden. You made a good choice in presenting this in B&W. Super, Gerry.

Just excellent Gerry. Has the feel of an old B Movie from the 1940's. However it's an A in the photographic sense. Expect to see Bogey walk out puffing on a cigarrete, look us in the eyes, wave, turn around and walk back into the night. Excellent photo.

Hi Gerry

This is b&w perfection! I really like this shot, and how right you were to wait for that fog! Deserves the exremely high c index I think.
