1st - C63 uPSIDE dOWN - above the clouds - brent

Oberg Mountain, South of Lutzen along Lake Superior (Minnesota).

I found that if you get high enough and are looking down
almost everything is viewed upside down :-)

This is Oberg Mountain, South of Lutzen along Lake Superior (Minnesota).

I got up at 3:30 and equipped with a tripod and flashlight hiked up and around the hill to a East facing lookout - took about an hour. The previous day was all fog and rain. When I got there the fog was all out on the lake (above and to the right). As the sun rose the fog moved in from the lake. It looked like the advance of an army. Some of colors and transitions were just so beautiful. One of the few times I think a video camera might have worked better, though I really treasure the shots I got.

This shot is just surreal! The fog/clouds in the forground trees is amazing. I just can't stop looking at this. I bet it was jaw dropping while standing there looking at this sight. Glad you composed yourself long enough to take this shot to share with the rest of us.

You took the risk and got the reward of a fantastic image and a really unique moment in time captured. I'd like to see other in the series too.
