The Sound of Peace, Silence & Tranquillityby

Judging by your score and some of the comments, some people do not see silence, or quietness, as sound. Perhaps they should live with a toddler. hahahaha. Anyway, I do feel that it met the challenge, as I commented earlier, though not in a typical way.
I really like the tranquility of this shot. The muted colors, the fog, the gentle slope of the mountains, and even the isolation of the power lines and poles really set up a nice mood of solitude here.
I like the vertical crop, but I also would like to see it cropped/framed horizontally. Maybe that is because the diagonal of the mountain, and the powerline, give it a very strong lift to the edge of the picture, and I would just like to keep looking that way, instead of running out of the frame.
I commend you on your exposure. Shooting fog/mist can be difficult, because it can make parts of your picture look out of focus. You have avoided this pitfall. Also, you have some nice detail showing in the foreground.
Like indigo, I am curious as to what the dots are in the sky. I didn't notice them at first, but now that I've seem them, they are obvious to me. Almost looks like spots on my monitor.
Nice shot and best wishes in future challenges.
