Roughly a two hours drive north from San Diego, is located the Palomar Observatory. The road up the mountain gains close to a mile in elevation pretty abruptly, before the terrain flattens out, and the view is lost. Along the California coast, in the spring and early summer, it is not unusual to have dense fog in the mornings. The local's word for it is "June Gloom". The photo, from 6/3/04 , shows that marine layer reaching inland, about an hours drive from Oceanside. Feel free to download this photo to your computer. Then you can edit it any way that you think is an improvement or new perspective on the original. Composites, adjustment layers, textures, black and white conversions, filters, and inverted images are just some suggestions. You decide what works best and then post your edit in this thread. Edits will be accepted until Thursday at 9pm. No edits will be accepted after that time, since we will then go to voting. Thank you for your continued support of this weekly challenge.
As usual, expect the unexpected. Sorry there wasn't more sky in there for you to work with.
Added a little bit more sky.

So far, everyone seems to be interested mainly in the sky. I decided that I would concentrate on one area of the photo and add some detail to the foreground, while still keeping some of that nice haze in the background.

Anything other than a soft look would be adventurous for this one..... so I played safe

Nice scene. Thanks for sharing.
Still dabbling with film...

Great subject to play with. Here is my view. This is a current haunt for us. My wife and I often hike in these mountains and I've seen this view many times.
