Fun Photo Friday — The Franklin Mountains Shrouded in Fog

El Paso may be in the desert, but rain and mist make a welcome appearance now and again.  This past August and September saw more than our normal share of rain, mist, and beautiful fog-shrouded mountains — in this case the Franklin Mountains that divide the city of El Paso.

When clouds top the Franklins I enjoy grabbing the camera and snapping a few shots.  The novelty never wears thin as I stand in my front yard or on a nearby street to capture the scene.

If the winds are just right the mist will flow down the slopes with a dynamic cascading effect that is absolutely stunning.

On this particular day late last month Ursula and I were off to photograph a new listing (Ursula is, after all, a REALTOR®, and I am her chief photographer and brochure designer).  After a stop along the way to capture closeups of the fog, I took advantage of the huge backyard of her current listing to piece together some stunning panoramic images of the Franklins suspended beneath a low ceiling.

Today I thought I would share with you the results of that day.  I hope you enjoy them.

Monday will conclude not only our visit to Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park, it will also conclude our look at this particular Holland America cruise aboard the MS Maasdam. I hope you’ve enjoyed our journey from Montreal.

It's a TRAP!

In today’s series you’ll see not only Bar Harbor and Acadia, you’ll find a new subject — Egg Rock Light — a lighthouse we encountered on our departure from Frenchman Bay and our turn south for Boston.
