The ethereal scene depicts two men navigating their boat in the fog from one side of the lake to the other. The mainland and the silhouette of a pagoda can be seen in the background.

This photograph is presented as a finished piece of art 24 x 36 on either canvas or as a board mounted fine art deep matte print on hahnemuhle sugar cane paper.

From the photographer: "The rain was on the verge of coming down hard as I headed in towards the mainland. I was looking for a bold, solitary image that I could silhouette against the increasingly invisible background to make a great black and white fine art print. The boat appeared as if out of nowhere with both passengers giving me a pleasing posture to photograph as we passed silently from a distance in the fog. I was lucky enough to be able to compose the shot with the outline of the Pagoda in the background giving my image a sense of place without being seemingly too obvious. West Tai Lake felt tremendously serene in the rain that morning and under a thin mist of fog the scene has a slightly ghostly yet peaceful, moody, ethereal feeling to it. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed photographing and editing it." less
