Photographer's Message
I chose this shot because I love to take images of the forest and Craggy Gardens has such beautiful, expressive trees. I arrived just before sunrise on a foggy, early spring morning. I chose to frame the image this way because I loved the perspective of the trees along the pathway. I also loved how the soft light blanketed the forest. I used a tripod as well as my camera timer to help prevent motion blur.
