Mt Qingcheng, about 70km from Chengdu is a centre of Taoism, dotted with Temples, access only on foot, wreathed in mist most of the year and rain all the day I was there. Another case of needing either a faster lens or a tripod with me. I will definitely have to go back to this Mountain, one for the photography and two to actually get to the top instead of dying on my feet half way up. Checkout this link to get an idea why it almost killed me.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

The mist makes it look very mysterious. It sure does look a steep climb. Already you seem quite high up for this shot.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

That is definitely a thick fog even by Atascadero standards. I think you managed an excellent shot under duress. Duress in this case is not only difficult lighting, but also trying to walk up a mountain in the rain while smoking a carton of Chinese cigarettes.
