I have been wanting to go back up to Larch Mountain with my Yashica and Holga but have been impatient, waiting for a clear day. We decided, for something to do, just to go up there anyway, into the clouds. I thought it would be fun to shoot a roll of Tri-x on such a cloudy day. The photo above is a Hipstamatic shot of one that I did with my Yashica. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!

There was no view to speak up at the top. We were up in the clouds and all we could see was nothing.  It was kind of awesome, and a little frightening. It was like looking into the void. I tried to capture it with my camera. I hope I was able to convey the feeling I felt when I saw it. I will find out when I develop the film.

    It has a mystery about it which a pretty day couldn’t deliver. Sometimes I miss the waiting to see the photos time because you get such wonderful surprises.

    Absolutely beautiful. Can you imagine how many hundred of dollars you would need to spend for a fog machine to create the same effect on a clear day?! Nature’s wonderful surprises are free and always the best 😉 Thanks for sharing.
