Misty sunrise in my hometown

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 20 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Last of the early morning beach series. The low light mist had started to clear and you can just see the sunrise starting to light up my favourite mountain. No wind, deserted beach, cool morning, and a beautiful view - what more could one ask for? My gift to you for the weekend - have a great one!

Lovely Rob. It is of course the equinox today so spring for us oop north and autumn, season of mellow fruitfulness, for you down south, and what could be more autumnal than fog.

A very welcome gift it is, too. If I could see that far from here, I have around 4 million people in the shot !

Great setting, with the mist and lights, it looks like a snow landscape too...
