Rossland
In the winter, the town of Rossland BC is often steeped in fog for the entire day. It is gloomy, overcast, blah. Sometimes though, if you go up skiing, you will get above the fog and it will be sunny on the top of the mountain. It is a very cool thing to look down on a sea of fog from the top of Granite Mountain. Sometimes you do not even need to go up to the top of the mountain.
On this particular morning I just drove up the highway, and a short distance past the ski hill, I drove out of the fog and into the clear. I found a turnout and walked back down the highway to this spot (which is at the Hanna Creek drainage). There was a nice beautiful glow on the horizon prior to the sun rising. The sea of fog in the valley is just so incredibly cool. I’ve been wanting a shot like this for a long time. It would have been better if there was some nice clouds for sunrise, but this will do for now, I guess. The valley shown here is actually Warfield/Trail, you can’t see Rossland from this view (if the fog was not there, I mean).
