Dawn Valley II

Shenandoah · late August 2026

Low fog runs the width of a valley at dawn, catching first light before the sun clears the ridge.
Fog sitting low in the valley, catching the first color before the sun cleared the ridge. I kept this one for the fog band alone — the way it ran the width of the frame like something poured rather than formed. The town underneath it is just where I happened to be standing.
