Fog in the Nebraska National Forest, May 28, 2020

I woke up early and decided to visit the Black Hills Overlook at sunrise. The drive out proved foggy, and the fog remained through sunrise, drifting in and out as I slowly hiked along the trail, taking as many photos as I could. This is my San Francisco kind of scene, with the radio tower poking up above the fog below it. I worked on a triangle composition, with the foreground tree, middle arch, and background tower. The fog provides creamy pink colors to go with the dark green grass and orange rocks and grass. Quite an interesting morning in a region that doesn't get much fog.
