It is incredibly hard for me to resist birch trees in the mist, especially of the sun starts to light some trees up. As you may be able to spot, this was a very blue skied summer morning with dense fog on the moorlands, but you could still see the sky above this mist. This kind of morning fog is usually very local and short-lived and you have to rise early to see something like this. Sometimes I am fiddling with my tripod and then look through the viewfinder again to find all the mist has evaporated. The tree in the front was already catching the sun and I knew I had to work fast, because within minutes the background would appear and would create distractions in this scene. I love the still mood of mist combined with the fragile birch trees with their silvery and black bark.
