Foggy Morning at the Pittock Mansion in Black and White

            I had gone to the Pittock Mansion to get some sunrise photos of Portland, the view of the city from there is fantastic.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided she didn't want me to see the city and blew in a dense fog making the morning a bust.  As I turned around feeling upset I saw the lights along the path and from the mansion glowing in the fog.  Maybe the morning wasn't a total bust.  I took my time finding a good frame and took this photo.  I like how the lights lead from the bright close one up to the lights at the mansion.  When I started editing this I was having lots of problems, the colors just weren't working.  After letting it sit for six months I came back and started playing around, trying all kinds of different things until I got to black and white.  I know this is really dark but I like how it gives a spooky, creepy atmosphere! (and after I took this I had to walk through this back to my car!  haha)  Took a long time, but I never gave up and finally found an edit that made this photo work for me.
