I pass this barn every morning on my way to work. This was an unusual morning when we had a thick covering of Rime Ice (frozen fog). You can see the sun trying to burn through the fog right over the barn. This is not a black-and-white edited version of this. It actually looked like that on this day.

Hello, My name is Carol Byrd. Location of this photo is in the community of Westover in Jackson, TN. I cross these tracks almost daily when taking my son to school. Very foggy morning and i just couldn't resist. this was taken with my iphone. I love taking photos and was taught to look outside the box, to widen my vision. so, not all good photos are taken with a high end camera! Thanks for the votes!! My good camera was at home, can we say spur of the moment. lol.

Photo taken by Debra Rote in Oregon, IL. ....... I take many photos with two different cannon cameras. I love nature situations and spend as much time as I can when I see a opportunity to grab that great shot ! .....THANK YOU !

My name is Lisa Yow and I would like to thank everyone for all the votes. This photo was taken out in my front pasture in Myakka City, Fl, early in the morning (April 2012) as the sun was rising and burning off the fog. I used a Cannon Rebel xs with a 300mm zoom. Other than a little cropping this photo is shown exactly as it was taken with no other enhancements.
