Strong apricot-coloured first light streams over the mist-filled woods in the Mooloolah valley, casting long shadows and contrasting soft white with hard black.

High view down over the crowns of close trees out over a series of ridges and valleys all shrouded in seas of early-morning mist. An ocean horizon is just visible through branches at the top of the picture.

Golden light from the just risen sun streams almost horizontally across successive ridges and a mist-filled valley, lighting up the mist and casting long shadows across the temporary inland sea.

The forest looks like it's breathing as streamers of mist rise slowly from the ridges in diffuse early morning light.

High view down into mist-shrouded, treed ridges and valleys shortly before sunrise. There is no direct sunlight, so no long shadows, just a soft, diffuse, drifting white sifting through the still-dark trees, some completely submerged, others just emerging.

High view over a mist-shrouded valley, white mist contrasting with the dark treed ridges emerging from the flowing white river. On the distant horizon large massed cumulus over the sea are slowly lightening from gray as a faint apricot lights the sky behind them, while barely green silhouettes of nearby trees and shrubs frame the foreground.

Looking down a steep, heavily treed slope into forest valley filled with drifting pockets of mist, dense in some places, lighter in others. The scene is strongly lit by almost horizontal sunlight, casting giant shadows over the valley from the highest trees on further ridges. The scene is dreamy and ethereal - other-worldly.

A dense white bank of mist fills most of the frame. In the middle distance the very top of a treed ridge peeks out above the encircling mist like a surrounded island. In the far distance are glimpses of further ridges with only light mist clinging to them.

Early morning view down a steep, wooded hillside into a valley filled with white mist, lit blazing in places by the rising sun. The mist almost completely obscures the trees under it, ridges emerging and the trees on them casting long shadows back into the valley. Sunlight glints off the leaves of the trees in the foreground, and the shot is framed by the overhanging branch of a close tree.

Thank you! I particularly like this one, it was beautiful to watch, and interesting how often that geography created essentially (different) monochrome images in the morning. The interplay of light, mist and hillsides was always fascinating (more under Mooloolah and #mooloolah)

Looking out over successive wooded ridges, covered and indistinct in very light morning mist, and glowing golden in the just-risen sun. Some nearby trees frame the bottom of the image, and the right hand side where the light is brightest, with contrasting filigree, sharp, dark silhouettes

Looking down into a dark, almost black mist-shrouded, treed valley, and out to the coastline where the tiny silhouettes of buildings mark the land's end. The valley is hilly and ridged, and the mist is lying in pure white banks in the lower portions. Beyond is a silver blue sea, and above it a thin line of almost identically coloured cloud, glimmering a brilliant gold in one short section where the sun will rise. Above the sky is clear, graduating from a peach-gold to a delicate yellow.

Looking down into a treed valley filled with a heavy mist. In the foreground a single, higher line of trees stands clear of the mist, but beyond, much of the picture is just layers of mist. Here and there a few ridge lines of trees emerge partially, dark shrouded shapes in blurred silhouette.

High view over dark, treed valleys with rain squalls moving across. A break in the clouds allows filtered sunlight to shine into the rain, creating a soft, glowing light where it's falling. The sky overhead is otherwise dark grey, and the valley is almost black. The view is framed by the silhouettes of two nearby trees, left and right.

Mood...
The cyclone has been relegated to a tropical low, but still 80km/h+ gusts, pouring rain, so trees down, power down, flooding, etc. (This isn't a picture of that.)

Heavy low grey cloud over a treed valley. Part of the cloud appears to be "raining" down in ragged streamers, however it's clearly cloud and not rain.

Looking down from the top of an escarpment into dark, treed ridges and valleys stretching away to a distant plain, and then the sea. The valleys are filled with a heavy, impenetrable mist which is floating up to drift along some of the lower ridges as well. The sky is also filled with dense white clouds, and although the scene is lit, it's almost monochrome black and white. The top right and bottom left of the picture are framed by the leaves and branches of nearby trees.

Overhead fluffy cumulus are lit grey and pink by the just risen sun, while below the dark  treed valleys and pale white mist have yet to be illuminated.

Looking down into a dark, treed valley, partly filled with white swirling mist, and strongly backlit by early morning sun, so the trees are in silhouette. Some trees on ridgelines stand out of the mist, while others further down are only just visible. Here and there the long shadows of trees cast elongated shapes across the mist.
