Welcome to Weekly Challenge #338 - Ethereal.

This one is open to a lot of interpretation but when I think of things that are ethereal, I think of something in vapor form or ghostly.
The dictionary says:
1. light, airy, or tenuous:
an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.

2. extremely delicate or refined:
ethereal beauty.

3. heavenly or celestial:
gone to his ethereal home.

4. of or relating to the upper regions of space.

5. Chemistry. pertaining to, containing, or resembling ethyl ether.

The fine print:

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

The Challenge will run until midnight January 10, 2016, whichever time zone you are in.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Taken in december 2014 while on a "business" trip to Oslo, in the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park. With the very short days at this latitude and time of year, the sun stayed low over the horizon for a long time, which resulted in some of the most amazing light I've seen for outdoor photography, especially combined with the very foggy weather we got in the week I was there. Unfortunately, the short days also mean I only got that one occasion to take my camera out for pictures. I tried to make the most out of it...

Imagine pulling back the shades and being greeted by this "ethereal" scene.I couldn't get to my camera fast enough. This was taken from the Fallsview Resort & Casino from the 27th floor right across from the Falls.It's a moment that I will always cherish.--charliezap

I hope I have understood this challenge correctly. If so, here's my entry...

Way too many choices for this one, I guess that's better than when I've got nothing.

Incredible line-up! Here is my contribution. A misty morning on Clydgale Lake in Algonquin Park, Ontario.
