How do I #relax! My best way is to camp, especially around a fire. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #camping #CopperHarbor #CopperHarborMI #KeweenawPeninsula #FortWilkinsHistoricStatePark

Part of a fogbow appearing in front of Bishop Peak, while the thick fog lies in the valley. Taken from Cerro San Luis.

Dry, brown brush appears in the foreground. We are standing on the upper slope of Cerro San Luis in San Luis Obispo, California. There is thick fog below in the valley, but a partial fogbow rises up and brushes the edge of Bishop Peak which is just peeking out of the fog. There is blue sky above and more mountains in the distance. The fogbow is a brighter white and shaped like a rainbow.

A watery expanse fringed by grassy banks and hemmed in by dense, tall trees rushes, semi shadowed, towards a horizon where the bright sky funnels down to the somber land

On a woodland trail, autumn, there are several large beech trees on the left and a birch on the right. The trunks and branches of the trees seem to form a circle ahead. Wales, UK.
