Description
I took this image at 'Lago del Pic d'Asti' on the Italian side of a high alpine pass between France and Italy.
I arrived at the small lake at lunchtime and found it enshrouded in fog. Tired after shooting 3 nights in a row, I enjoyed a lazy afternoon and chatted with some of the campers. When they heard that I was planning to do astrophotography, they voiced their doubts due to the fog. I told them that I was expecting the fog to dissipate shortly after sunset, which earned me a few chuckles.
As sunset arrived, the fog subsided within minutes, giving way to completely clear skies. Now it was me who chuckled, glad that my assessment of the weather had proved to be correct.
I invited the campers to join me for some stargazing, but they called it a night instead. They might have decided differently if they knew what they were about to miss...
