Foggy morning in Rockaway Valley

Foggy morning in Rockaway Valley
Boonton Twp NJ
May 2023

I was able to park my car yesterday and shoot a few frames before the morning fog dissipated.

Another note of interest- my internet research reveals that this agricultural property near the corner of Rockaway Valley Road and Valley Road was the first preserved farmland in Boonton Township.

The best weather for landscape photography is nearly always scattered clouds and yesterday was no exception. I left my house amid the dark predawn hours in hopes of “striking gold” with a vivid morning sky and ended up getting rewarded.

Waiting out a summer shower paid off well for me this time. This shot was taken about 70 minutes after my prior post here.

It was clear no other person had walked around this property recently as there was scarcely a deer path to navigate the overgrowth.
