A sea of fog
January 1, 2011
A large sea of fog filled the valley for the last sunrise of this year.
Slowly but surely it will disappear…
Tomorrow morning when the New Year will start, I hope there will be plenty of sunshine for your eyes to shine and your heart to feel warm.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
BONNE ET HEUREUSE ANNEE
Oh my goodness, that first one is breathtakingly beautiful! WOW!
Happy New Year, Isa, and best wishes for 2011.
Thank you Michaela, it was a wonderful morning indeed. I hope your New Year started beautifully under the big sky of Texas.
What beautiful mountains, Isa! Happy New Year and have a wonderful 2011!
Thanks montucky, your Montana mountains are just as beautiful. Happy New Year in your great environment.
Happy new year! I love fog, it makes for some great photographic opportunities.
Welcome back JP and happy new year to you ! I look forward to seeing more of your pictures.
Isa, I wish you a peaceful and happy New Year in 2011, I have been happy following your blog here and will look foreward to keep following it in the future. I am sure the sun will shine many days around you in 2011 like it does on your beatiful photos here 🙂
Thank you truels. The sun is shining on the glittering snow although the temperature is very low (-9°C). A great way to start the first week of the year, no ? Best wishes to you and yours.
Wow, how wonderful fresh and bright it looks, thank you! An optimistic sight at the first day of a new year. I wish you a good one, Happy New year Isa.
Merci giiid. This last sunrise of the year 2010 was the perfect gift for the new one to arrive. I hope your own new year will be one with many lights to capture and share. Beautifully, as you always do.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to live with mountains like that. I remember the first time I ever saw real mountains – first from far away, across the prairie, and then more and more each day, and then we were in them and it was winter in July and my whole world was suddenly very much bigger.
Thank you for sharing your mountains and your humor and your thoughts. Happy New Year, Isa.
G´day Gerry ! Some people feel those mountains oppressive. I am so used to live around them that I was so surprised when I travelled to South TX and could see nothing at the horizon but a big wide immense sky. Beautiful too. Thank you too for each and all of your posts. Happy New Year !
Beautiful, Happy New Year, Isa. xxx
Thank you Cindy and a Very Happy New Year under your Southern sky !
Une photo à couper le souffle. Le brouillard ressemble à une énorme couverture gonflés.
Karen, quelle belle expression: “á couper le souffle” ! Je me souviendrai de cette “énorme couverture gonflée” lors du prochain brouillard 🙂 merci et bonne année á toi et á ta famille. Your French is just great !
Thank you for your kind comments! These pictures are beautiful as well 🙂
Happy New Year, photonsandneurons, and thanks for the visit and comment.
Happy New Year! Looks like it came in cold and bright (even if you had to climb a mountain to find the Sun). I do not find them oppressive at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Thanks Scott. In fact, the village I was in is built on a steep slope, just opposite those mountains, on the other side of the valley, at about 1500m high. Whenever I look outside the windows, this is the panorama I have in front of me. Isn’t that beautiful ?
It must certainly is and so happy you appreciate and share it with us.
What a magnificent sight…
Thanks for your visit and words, Robert.
Bonne et heureuse année 2011!
Thank you Joumana, une très belle et heureuse nouvelle année avec beaucoup d’autres recettes délicieuses et de magnifiques photos qui mettent l’eau à la bouche 😉
Je redécouvre toujours avec un grand plaisir la beauté des Alpes de l’autre côte de la frontière 😉 Cette mer de nuage dans la vallée , au pied des cimes enneigée , est d’une beauté (et d’une opacité 😉 à couper le souffle. Merci pour cet air pur , certes virtuel , mais néanmoins très “oxygénant” par mes pupilles !
Bonne soirée
Quelle bonne surprise d´avoir la visite d´un voisin, de la Savoie ? C´est vrai qu´on ne se lasse pas – moi en tous cas – de ces paysages alpins. Celui-ci était particulièrement “oxygénant” ! Merci pour vos chaleureux commentaires 🙂
That kind of series of photos I love. Alps are mighty! I have only once seen them In Genève.
I hope all the good to You in this year 2011.
Thanks for the visit, sartenada. Yes, Alps, whether in France, Italy or Switzerland, are impressive and magnificent. I never tire of looking at them. All the best to you also for this new year.
This is beautiful… I love Switzerland – I grew up ‘next door’, at Lake Constance (Bodensee), and could always see the swiss alps on a clear day, fantastic… I miss proper mountains!
Nice to see you here, Simone, thanks for your words. What about the lovely mountains in Connemara looking out to the ocean;) ? I quite liked them and the West of Ireland area too.
“Now the world unfolds, in half-light’s gleam,
The wood’s alive, its thousand harmonies singing,
While through the valleys, misted ribbons stream:
And heavenly light now penetrates the deep:
Twigs, branches shoot, with fresher life it seems,
From fragrant gulfs, where they were sunk in sleep:
Colour on colour lifts now from the ground,
As leaf and flower with trembling dewdrops weep –
And a paradise reveals itself, all round…”
Thanks a lot, Ron, for your beautiful poem that expresses so well all one feels when looking at such a landscape. It definitely brings a new light on the vision of my surroundings
