About a year ago, I was enjoying taking pictures of misty cattle pastures in the pristine Australian countryside in the early morning, and by chance I came across Fogbow, which I had never seen before. At that time, I had never imagined Fogbow and didn't even know the name. The sight was so mysterious and fantastic that I thought my heart would stop. It was only later that I learned from the ABC news in the United States that Fogbow was a rare natural phenomenon in the world, difficult to see once in a lifetime. As a photographer, I had such a fantastic experience that I will never forget, and I am honored to submit the results in black and white photos through this contest. Instead of taking a single shot of the huge fogbow using an ultra-wide-angle lens, I took a panoramic picture to increase the number of pixels. Even though the photos were taken by me, my mind becomes clearer when I meditate while looking at the subtle and soft black and white photos of 'FOGBOW'. I am grateful to God for gifting Australia with pristine nature. I will continue to visit Rural Australia to film Fogbow in appreciation of the beauty of nature.
