A group of people I meet through meetup.com who are hikers and photographers decided to head outside of Bogota/Soacha to Chicaque Park, also known as the cloud forest. It is eerie there where the clouds and mist just obscure everything.

I had to make sure to keep the light from not overexposing. I used a circular polarizer to reduce the glare from the mist. I focused on a creating a silhouette to create an eerie mood that the forest had at times.
