Great shot and perfect timing. To all attempting to see more from this photographer by clicking on the link above, the address is missing a p. The end of the address should be ifp3. Unfortunate typo to a great site.

Combining fog and morning light in the same composition is a very unusual mix

Il fuoco e la neve: sono i contrasti della luce a rendere questa immagine affascinante.

Thanks, Joe, for bringing the typing error to my attention.
I’ve contacted Earth Shots about correcting it.
Thank you Joao for your interest in my posting. That was
an evening shot, not a morning one.
