Peaceful scene on a river with fog obscuring distant hills at early sunrise near Cadiz, Andaucia, Spain. Hours before sunrise, I drove through very thick fog, blindly walked down railroad tracks avoiding a moving train and country dogs barking as I passed nearby farms. It was Winter and I was chilled to the bone. I attempted to capture the essence of the rising sun reflected in the lazy winding river while the fog gently lifted on a really cold morning.
