Here's a photo that's a bit different from my usual style.
I took it with the tele lens on last weekend's hike. The inversion caused such a great sea of clouds with just some sole islands.
This kind of weather really offers such unique motives. And again: it was worth carrying the zoom lens up there :-D
Enjoy!

The landscape is shrouded in a thick layer of mist or fog, creating an ethereal and tranquil atmosphere. Only the top of the mountain and a few structures, possibly buildings or communication towers, are visible above the cloud cover.

A tranquil scene unfolds beneath a vast, partly cloudy sky, where soft light filters through the fresh green canopy of trees. The foreground is alive with lush, vibrant foliage—tall grasses and reeds sway gently, framing a serene, shallow body of water that reflects the surrounding greenery. Beyond the water, rolling meadows stretch out, dotted with distant trees and the faint outline of a structure, perhaps a farmhouse or barn, adding a touch of rustic charm.
