In The Fog

Yesterday morning as I was getting the kids ready for school I noticed that there was a dull gray light seeping between the slats of the closed shutters- instead of the golden-pink glow that I've been enjoying for the last week or so. This could only mean one thing- and that's fog.  I love fog. Some people find it dreary and depressing but I find it tranquil and beautiful. After I dropped the kids off at school I had about a half hour to take some photos. I couldn't wait. Here are just a few photos that I took yesterday morning. 


On the way to school...




Near the sea...

Here's a barrel left by fishermen, the coals still smoldering from earlier in the morning. 

The red boat  of which I've taken so many photos, now I have a photo of it in the fog. 


At home...
A walk through our olive grove. 

The field- normally we have a view of Mt. Olympus & the sea. 

Tarzan looking out into a field of fog. 

And finally of my favorites from this shoot, a spiderweb made visible by the moisture in the air. I would love a macro lens for days like this, I can only imagine how beautiful this would be if the droplets were apparent.

    I love fog.With its ample leaves uncertain boundaries to the imagination.
    It seems to be suspended from the Earth.

  3. @ Annamaria...Thank you so much! I know a lot of people find fog creepy, but I really enjoy it. It's always nice to hear from you. I hope you're enjoying the Holiday season. Have a wonderful weekend!

    @ Ola...I agree, it's not something we need too often, I probably wouldn't enjoy it if I had to deal with it all of the time. Nice to see you as well! Happy Holidays...have a great weekend!
