This photo represents the simplest of photos, but it is still quite beautiful and inspirational. Three elements comprise this image: trees, fog and sunshine.
I walked the western edge of a woods as early morning fog was thinning and lifting away in a light breeze. This created ideal conditions for sunlight to pierce through the limbs and fog causing the spiritual rays of light. A rising sun and dissipating fog can make for a magical time to go outside with a camera.
