My homelands in Germany are not spectacular- but it is here where i spend the most time.

With the right conditions, random places transform into ethereal and mysterious playgrounds for landscape photography. Suddenly they can be even more spectacular than many iconic photography destinations.

On the morning when I shot this image, I arrived at this rather unspectacular forest. At first the scene was looking rather boring, but I knew there was the chance for some fog drifting into the forest.

The sun kept rising and I felt like it was going to be a no show. But something was telling me that things would fall into place.

The sun started rising behind the trees as layers of fog drifted in. A boring forest transformed into an ethereal wonderland.
