The story behind this image

I'll always make a special effort to get up early in the morning if the weather forecast promises fog at dawn.

Fog is great for photography, especially if you can get above it at sunrise or before, which is what I did to get this evocvative photo of the Clwydian range of hills surrounded by mist filled valleys.

This particular view was taken from the south facing slopes of Foel Ffenli, where I stood entranced watching the mist ebb and flow through the scene.

It was very difficult to tear myself away and head to work that morning!
