The fog that cleared the valley.

This picture is of fog after a light rainstorm that helped clear the Salt Lake valley from really thick unhealthy smog. The smog got so bad, that that when I went to the Doctors with a cough, he said it was Bronchitis caused by the Smog itself. It was really horrible and everyone with sinus or lung problems were getting sick.

When I took this picture, I was in a building that overlooks the valley from the East Bench and was zoomed in at 200mm using my Nikkor 18-200VR lens. This allowed me to capture the edge of the fog line in the trees.

While this picture lacks color, I still consider it one of my favorite shots. The only way I can describe this picture is calm and serene.
