For My Album Cover (with cropping)

I have joked more than once that I have an idea for my first album cover - something with a path or a road or, in today’s case, railroad tracks disappearing into fog. Shooting the photo for that album cover is proving to be much easier than putting the album into reality. First - I don’t often sing loud enough for others to hear out of concern they may call 911 thinking I am in pain. Second - While I have a guitar that I think about learning to play, I have not accomplished that yet. Further - If I am going to learn to play a musical instrument should it be a guitar, banjo, fiddle, or piano?

Until I make up my mind and take the necessary action, I suppose I will continue to shoot my covers so I have them if and when I need them.

I am going to share three versions of the same scene in the order of my preference. The one with color was the original.

I did find whitetail deer in fog and shot varying views.
