Pic(k) of the Week: It's a hazy, hazy sunrise.

Looking southeast from the summit of monadnock Arabia Mountain, one could see a noticeable (yet lovely) haze just after sunrise, produced by a combination of high humidity, 50% cloud cover, and air rife with pollen.

For several years, I've been trying to capture a portrait of this lovely lady, but something always seemed off — whether it was distracting foliage, a cluttered background, or an awkward angle. That morning, everything fell into place; I even disregarded my boots sinking into pond muck. When I checked the image on the camera's screen, was that emotion or just morning mist in my eyes?
