Misty Morning, Somenos Creek

On waking one early spring morning, I found mist hanging in the valley below my home in Duncan, and the sun just coming up.  I quickly grabbed my camera, drove into the lowlands, and found this view along Somenos Creek.  Perched on a bridge next to a busy road, I took this exposure on VC-160 at f/8 with my Ensign Selfix 16-20.  I should point out that mist is often an excellent vehicle for hiding imperfections in the landscape- an agricultural drain pipe that keeps the sogginess out of our fields by Somenos Lake enters this creek in the distance, but is beautifully hidden by the mist!
