Into The Fog

...another foggy shot taken at the start of the Boy Scout Jambo at Green Lane Park. Knight Lake, covered in fog, is in the background.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text

Fog sure does bring up emotions for me and this image does that for me. Wonderful use of leading lines. Love the reflection. It has a mystical feel to it as we are unable to see in the distance, sort of like our lives. Well done!

Beautiful. Very nice framing. Did you do any post processing?

@Picture Box: Thank you. I did some post processing in CS3 including highlights, curves, and channel mixer adjustments and addition of a vignette.
