After a very busy week at work I haven't been much motivated to get out of bed on Saturday morning and drive in this gray soup of fog to find a photo motif.
Winter Wonderland
Photo 52, 2020 Challenge, Week Number 50
As this post matches this week's theme "Wintermas Freestyle!" of the Photo 52, 2020 Challenge, Week Number 50, I dedicate this post to that challenge.
After a quite demotivating while without seeing anything interesting, I decided to drive up a mountain to the village of Diex which is also known as Sun Village as last chance for a photo.

Shortly before I arrived at the village there was also all fog around and I could see hardly anything. But suddenly the tower of the church was peaking out of the fog and then the air around me has been clear :)

The valley was covered by fog and clouds and above the village there was another layer of gray clouds.

The road I am driving on leads from the left behind the church and then through the forest to the right.

And at the end I want to show you a photo from this morning. I decided to get up there again, but this time a little bit earlier to catch a hopefully nice sunrise over the clouds. It began quite spectacular and if I find the time I'll post the other photos I took today during the coming week.
