A person is jogging across a grassy field in the early morning. The landscape is covered in thick fog, blurring the horizon line. We can see the red glow from sunrise. The person running appears slightly mid-air, in between steps. The dawn makes them look like a silhouette on the land. The grass is covered in dew or frost.
