I pass by here twice a day as I head and come home from work. Occasionally, I get some decent light and will pull over for a grab shot.

@Jim Peterson & @chuckroast, thanks guys. I was at this location for a while working with the changing clouds and a never ending series of tour buses. A load of 30 or 40 people would pull up at regular intervals. The passengers would spend around 15 minutes in my way and at least one per bus load would ask if I would take their picture. Then they were gone only to have it all repeated with another group. Frustrating, but enough moments inbetween to get something done.

Going through some files from late spring as I put off scanning in multiple rolls of film and doing more developing and came across these. From a new state park, old stomping grounds for me on a stormy evening. Stone Door.

The ground fog is well placed. It adds the appearance of depth.

Thanks Jon. That is exactly what I was going for. The problem with this image is finding the right balance to feel like dusk, but not appear dark. I keep going back and forth with it.

I really like the blue mountains in you Mt. Washington image, but feel the foreground distracts from and reduces the impact of the repeating pattern and hazy mood of the mountains. Have you tried cropping out the foreground rocks and keep the middle ground and background? I think it would make for a strong graphic.

Thanks a lot Stephen! Late autumn is my favorite season.
