A solitary walk to Angkor in the thick morning fog and moisture

I arrived about 4:30 AM and was alone except for a few monks that were moving about, preparing for their morning offerings. The mist and humidity hung thick in the air, and you can really feel it in this shot. The whole scene was 200% dreamy, and the thick layer of fog made it impossible for my eyes or camera to focus on anything except for the impressionist vision itself.

Very dreamy. But Angkor at dawn is regardless if you manage to focus properly or not. In this cace it might actually even be better with the slightly blurred version then a sharp one...

I am always amazed at the places you go to get photos. I can't wait to have that kind of lifestyle.

Nice shot. Like others have said I like the soft dreamy quality to it. Once again, I"m jealous of where you get to travel to and photograph.
