Seneca Lake Morning

Finally, a clear morning after a couple of days of drizzle. A layer of fog from Seneca Lake creeps over the farms in the valley below.

As the sun warms the damp grass on the hillside, a thin mist drifts upward. The valley fog is not deep- the silos and rooftops poke through to clear air. The warming sun will make the layer puff up, becoming thicker but more diffuse, until the fog dissipates entirely. (This wide-view pano is made from 12 separate photos.)
