Another shot from my recent trip to Padis in the Apuseni Natural Park.

After taking shot star trail shots the first night, we woke up at about 5.30 the following morning to catch the sunrise.
We hiked a bit to get a better view point and as we were a little early, i took my 150mm lens and took some shots of the thick mist in the distance.
This is one of those photos, in which i quite liked the layers of trees visible.

Hope you'll like it, too, and thanks for visiting.

I also uploaded some shots from this latest trip on my website in the NEW and PANORAMAS categories. Feel free to check it out if you want :)

Hi Horia!

Fantastic shot - very misty and mystical :-) I like composition very much with three lines of trees divided by mist. Very calm image with good colours and perfect mood. This shot reminded me my trip to Bihor, quite possible I was in place from your photo my friend :-)

Salut Horia
O alta fotografie simpla, dar foarte frumoasa.Imi plac straturile de ceata care se observa printre varfurile brazilor,lasand doar sa se ghiceasca siluetele inalte. Tonurile gri-albastrui-albe sunt foarte potrivite pentru aceasta fotografie! Mie imi place foarte mult!
Incep sa regret ca nu se mai organizeaza acel meeting, as fi vrut foarte mult sa mai invat cate ceva de la tine!
Toate cele bune,
Oana

Hello Horia,
Fantastic photo full of atmosphere. The layers of trees are great in an excellent composition. Beautiful grey/blue colours.
Regards,
Peter

Wonderful misty morning Horia..My eye has taken a "Magical Mystery Tour" through the layers of trees, a great feel & look this one has..
One can definitely see the forest from the trees here :)
Be well,
Howard

Beautifully captured image Horia... I love the feeling of peace and serenity it conveys. The three layers were well seen and presented. TFS. :)

Hallo Horia
Great capture of this mystical, almost spooky scenery. Although there is almost nothing except the trees and the mist, there are plenty to look at. Looking at this image leave a lot of space for the imagination to wonder away. I like how the mist forms layers in between the tree tops. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Anna

Hello Horia,
A superb scene well captured with excellent camera work. The mist in the dips between the spruce-covered ridges provides a wonderful three-dimensional effect that gives this image fine perspective.
Great work my friend and thanks posting this inspiring image,
Have a good week,
Ivan

Hi, Horia, dear friend.
It is amazing art work. I am surprised how well you have pictured scene with macro lens. Captured moment and state of Nature are stunning. Delicateness of colour tones are terrific and composition of the shot is simply outstanding. Bravo. Perfect work.

Great shot mot, the subtle tones and ethereal quality to this shot are superb! A well chosen part of the landscape to focus on and well framed too. This must have been quite a sight, well done in capturing it so effectively.

Hi Horia,
First thing that came to mind when I saw this photo was envy....Darn I want to have this kind of photo in my portfolio. Second thing was; This remind me of a photo made by Paul Prince.

Hello Horia !
Woooow, tis is SO beautiful ! I love the composition, with different ayers of fog and trees, I love the mysterious atmosphere, I love how the dark silhouettes of the trees stand out on the white fog... It is peaceful, quiet, serene, and it seems to come out of some wonderful fairy tale - just gorgeous. Very well done !
Valérie.
