It's a very beautiful place and shot. Has a lot of atmosphere. A shame it doesn't operate around sunset , that would be eerily spectaculat

Nice capture, the fog seems to be rolling in.
I like the fact that there actually seems to be motion .

@Fred: Thanks Fred. The "fog" is mist sprayed from pipes at ground level.

A fine title to describe it!

@Still: The title is the sculptor's own invention - creative, non?
