Morning Mist in the Mountains

What you see

A slope climbs diagonally from the lower left corner to a summit of jagged rocks just above the center. A few trees grow on the rocks, and fir trees are scattered farther down. Everything else, on both sides and above, is wrapped in mist that blurs the mountain’s edges and leaves only its silhouette.

Nearly everything is gray, white and lilac, with muted greens in the trees. Light arrives from the upper right and warms the summit rocks. The mist is built up in soft, veiled layers. Don’t miss the dark firs at the center, sharper than the rest, and the small trees on the highest rock.
