Ute Mountain surrounded by fog
On a recent trip to Colorado to photograph fall color I got stuck in New Mexico. It wasn’t because of car trouble or work obligations, it was because we had some of the most amazing fog I’ve ever seen in the desert. It’s important to understand that fog is not exactly a common occurrence in the high, dry desert of northern New Mexico. So when my wife and I finally broke into the clear and could see Ute Mountain apparently floating on a blanket of fog, I had to stop and shoot and shoot and shoot…until I had over 100 photos of this rare scene in front of us.
