On a long hike on a trail that seemed to circle of mountain top we came across a path of fog. It was the end of September, but to our surprise the trees looked as green as if it were Spring. This was probably because it had rained for weeks on end. Because of the high humidity levels I did not have my usual telephone lens on the camera, but a lens that covered the 24 to 105mm range, so I would not have to change lenses in these kinds of conditions. The mist was different everywhere you looked. It was hardly visible on the right side of the path where a steep cliff with mighty rocks lead into the valley below, on the left side of the path however, against a steep slope, I spotted this wonderful calm and still scene. It was such a serene scene in this harsh environment and I loved the way the branches looked like arches.

The focus is on tranquil scenes that seem to lie outside everyday reality, without people in the picture, with subjects that are about to disappear often being the subject. The fleeting patterns in the sand, but especially old forest giants that are disappearing at breakneck speed due to climate change.
