Believe it or not, this is a modern take on a traditional Chinese art form--ok, well, sort of.  Trees, mountains, and fog are major elements in ancient Chinese painting.  I took this photo in Huang Shan (Yellow Mountains) in south central China in the summer of 1983.  I was on a trail composed of stone steps cut through miles and miles of mountains and bamboo forest.  It was always foggy and if it wasn't foggy it was raining.  You'll note the power lines in the lower right of the photo, something the Chinese masters would not have seen back in The Day.
