Photographer’s Note

Sea of fog is a very special phenomenon in the mountains. It is simply fog or low clouds (stratus) that are observed from above the fog/stratus deck, typically from a mountain top. I took this picture few minutes before the sea of fog covered the whole valley. It starts very slowly but constantly. It looks like mountains cover themselves with the down-filled quilt. After the clouds cover the whole valley you can feel like you are standing on an island looking at the white ocean around under a sunny blue sky above.
