The view walking into the tripoint was rather special

My location to bed down for the night was awesome

Walking out at 04.00 I was blessed to be heading towards a fog bow for about 1km as the moon was behind me and the temperature was down to -3.5. The fog bow was white in colour and this was the first one I have had the pleasure to experience.
