Once again, i did a stop on that Sammamish road this morning before going to the office. There was this small flock of geese flying over me and i did my best to nail them to the foggy environment. to be honest, i think i would have prefered having my 100-400 with me this time, if you see what i mean. but i'm still satisfied with the shot.

Nice tones as always, the differing layers of fog between the tree lines are a very nice touch.
