I got up way before dawn to drive 2-hours from where we were staying in order to see the mist I thought would hug the coastline if I got there early enough. As the mist dissipated as I got closer, I figured I would be too late. I did see some, and set-up my tripod, and started photographing. That's when this backpacker wandered into my scene. I figured he ruined it, but I was wrong.
