It is a very foggy morning, when the songs from the radio had stop, the DJ was reminding all the drivers on the road to be alert due to the heavy fog, they continue to said that "above this heavy fog is a bright and sunny day...", when I heard that I thought it might be nice for me to have a sneak peek of what is like to see the above. I never been to Mt Eden by myself (scare of the high) this early in the morning before, anyway... as I was driving up slowly.... about 15-20mph, I keep telling myself not to look down just yet, else I will freak out! :P There are a lot of people having their morning walk, some walk with the dogs, some doing their morning exercise looking out at the nice and beautiful view. As my car going 1/2 way up at the mountain, I can slowly see... It is a clear sky above all those fog! Gosh... it look sooo beautiful.

When I reach the top, I was about to yell with joy after stepping out of the car... man... this is like in the magic land!!! The heavy fog have form a layer of nice and comfy cusion, the sun had just slowly climbing up, with the rays of the sun... the sky colours just tranform like a rainbow...so unbelievable! If it is not a working day, I most properly will stay there for a long time... I took lots of shots, and this is one of it. I hope you all like it.

====================
- Crop
- Increase 10% of saturation
- Add border

p.s I have no title for this as I couldn't think of anything suitable... just speachless.. :) Any idea of a name?

Taking Dawn's suggestion, now this shot officially have a title, its called "Heaven"!!! Thanks Dawn.

Hi Sweety

Wow! I like the lone tree, linking all the visual elements together. The sea of cloud is marvellous. Good work!

hello formidable Sweety.... to be above the layer of fog, that gives a mink pleasant. The photograph is well carried out for framing, perhaps a small lack of color in bottom.
Beautiful work.

Awesome Sweetie, what a super view. And the colours of the sky are pretty too. I love the sheepskin carpet at your feet. Very well captured, and what a brave girl going up My Eden in the fog. You were up early to be in the city on a holiday.
Even Dave likes it too...

Fantastic capture, lovely soft overall lighting and pastel colors. You are very brave to go up there to capture this lovely image!

Hey Sweety..... GREAT SHOT...FANTASTIC...I had a little laugh at your info notes... as I know when its your first time to drive up Mt. Eden.. most of us feel the same.. rather narrow.. and one kinda wants to look down.. but gotta keep your eyes on the road !!..bit scary.. Gee wish I had of seen this with my own eyes.. and the oppurtunity doesnt come along too often, as we dont often get such thick fog here in Auckland....

As for a name..... maybe you could just call it...."Heaven" ?????

TFS... this beauty..

Cheers Mate
Dawn.

Hi Sweety,

This has to be one of the most beautiful, and well composed images that I have seen in some time. There is nothing to add. The softness of the light appearing in the lower right is perfect. Exquisite.

What a great (and daring, when I read your words) idea to go up there, we can now see what heaven is and if I may say, very inviting:-))
Thanks a lot for sharing, dear Sweety, a wonderful image !

Sweety
Auckland weather is crazy, but from that craziness comes opportunity - and you did what great photographers do. You chased the opportunity and you captured something magnificent.
Lovely work capturing the silhouette against the sunrise and fog. In all honesty I would have argued against placing the tree in the centre of the shot - to the left or right would have been better - but it's a minor point, and it's a fantastic photo. Congratulations.

it seems that you're very very high, on the mountains, not, higher, in the skys ..and this is not fog, but clouds..
i didn't saw never before fog such similiar to clouds..
i enjoy the view .. to see red sunrays on the green grass on the right. It makes this dreamy composition more powerfull.
Happy tree, every morning seeing this .......
