Rime Ice Summit Cross Leh Dawn Mist

by Jim Cochran

Thick white mist wraps around a metal summit cross standing beside a stone cairn above the tree line near Leh. Low sunlight breaks through the horizon haze, casting a pale golden glow on the rime ice encrusting the cross's vertical beam and horizontal arms. The ice appears as jagged, feathery textures clinging to the dark metal, while the rough grey stones of the cairn sit partially obscured by the swirling fog. Late spring air leaves the ground bare of snow, yet the cold is evident in the heavy frost coating every surface. The cross stands stark against the soft, diffuse light, its sharp edges softened by the thick, wet vapor that fills the space between the stones and the sky. A thin line of blue sky peeks through the mist at the very top edge of the frame.
