When you are out backpacking, waking up in the morning and seeing the sunrise is a beautiful thing. Some mornings are foggy and provide a soft view of new beginnings.

Sometimes you are looking out over a lake.

Sometimes it is over a river valley.

Once in a while, it is foggy as you start down the trail.
