The first rays of the sun warms the cool night airs.

Instantly, this mountain breath becomes manifest as swirling clouds of gossamer.
Flowing sinuously down the great valleys, its watery origins clear for all to see, these mists appear to reanimate this crepuscular landscape.
This magnificent ballet of atmosphere is just a small part of the great global circulations of air and water.
It is the powerhouse of our weather and the basis for that most precious gift; the soft sustaining rains of this vivacious blue planet.
