Photographer’s Note
It was a very early misty morning in Washington state. I loaded my tripod and equipment into the car at three a.m. and left my hotel in the dark. I pulled up to the drive-through window of a tiny roadside coffee vendor and ordered a double-espresso for the road. Steaming coffee in hand, I just started wandering the back roads of the Puget Sound. The place was deserted. No one was out. I think one lonely school bus rumbled past. As the morning slowly began to dawn, I rounded a bend in the road and caught sight of this quiet scene. I backed the car and parked on the side of the road to unload my tripod and begin shooting in the mist. This was Velvia 50 on a very slow exposure.

Wow... Spectacular debut shot, Karie. Really a great shot but I hate it it's so small. WHY, WHY, WHY? You can post shots up to 800 pixels on the large side. Why not have it 800 pixels tall? Please repost it larger.
Welcome to TE, thanks for sharing and hope you'll offer us many more such shots.

I agree with Iuli; this is a spectacular debut but its also much too small!
you were right in including so much of the sky in this shot, i think a more apt title might simply be 'blue'.
again, this is an outstanding landscape, and I am looking forward to your next upload -- but please, just a little bigger ;)
oh, and welcome to TE!

Welcome to TE family. Nice use of blue colour. I agree with tuli and steve that a bigger picture could have been better.
