foggy Schönbuch forest 2020-10-10

– or: When I went to photograph the sunset and returned with pictures of fog. For the second time. Like on September 1^st when it rained much of the day, cooling down the air, the clouds disappeared by evening with blue sky arriving from West. Sounds like good ingredients for a nice sunset, which shouldn´t have happended as expected, but instead the Schönbuch forest was covered in fog:

The fog had the perfect density and altitude to be clearly visible yet not blocking the view of the distinct levels in the landscape. The few clouds at the horizon let enough light pass to create sunset colors as a nice contrast to the foggy forest. Depending on the direction of view, the color of the sky varied from blue over violet to red tones.
