misty peaks
Haze-wrapped mountain tops
Misty peaks are mountain summits shrouded in fog or low clouds, creating an atmospheric effect of mystery and distance.
The phrase evokes romantic landscape imagery—mountains partially obscured, their outlines softened by vapor: The misty peaks emerged at dawn.
Common in travel writing, poetry, and descriptions of Asian landscape painting.
