To take my head off of all the things going south in my life, I decided to go on an early morning photo trip with a friend. After leaving at 4:30 am we drove for about 2 hours before reaching our destination to find an heavy mist covering all what we were planning to shoot (especially the ruins of a 13th century castle). No sunrise, no ruins. But we decided to push forward and make do with the fantastic ambiance that the mist gave to the mountains surrounding us. Reminds me of my once adoptive Japan.
