A Visionary Journey

Misty Mountains

"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mightly spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
..."


A new weather front approaching from the west.
The mountains of the Coast Range, in Calabria, arise overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and provide a barrier to the moist westerlies driven by the disturbance which condense into clouds and dense fog along the sea side of the mountains.
Only in the vicinity of lower peaks and valleys the cloud cover manages to climb over the mountain range. Driven by strong winds of fall (Föhn wind), the clouds surrounding the top of the mountains and descend the valleys of the opposite side, frayed.
The wisps of fog will light in the sunshine in contrast with the dark mountains.
