foggy morning, Mount Tamalpais

This is a view of our beloved Mount Tamalpais (2571 ft.) from the small town of Kentfield, California. Many "locals" refer to her as The Sleeping Lady -- at a particular angle the mountain looks like a lady in repose...
In addition to hiking and mountain-biking on a million miles of trails, Mt. Tamalpais serves as our domestic water source -- and unless we go into a drought, it's streams, lakes, and waterfalls will be gushing soon. If you didn't already know, they're very photogenic...
This photo was taken looking towards the west -- and yes, that fog is advancing at a pretty good clip over the little fire-lookout on the top of the mountain. Except for the sunrise redness in the foggy clouds, this display of fog is not an uncommon sight.

That is a very romantic photo! Gorgeous coloring. The fog seems to be a sheet folding itself around the sleeping lady.
Great angle and composition of our foggy mountain. Love the rosy color.
Nice shot!
Very photogenic fog all over the place.
Why are mountains always sleeping? I call my mountain the sleeping giant. To me it looks like a giant on its back.
Anywy, love the photo. The pink in the fog is magical.
Great photo. I Love the exposure and contrast with the touch of color.
I always like the posts and photos of the "Mountain".

I always like fog on a mountain or a mountain with low hung clouds. It makes it seem as if the mountain is alive and expressing itself. Yours is a bit moody today!
