Fog

[azziria]

Heavy fog here this morning, a monochrome world of limited vision. The walk from school to nursery goes through a small wood, all stark black branches with a single silver drop of water suspended from each twig. Even a day like this has beauty when you look with proper attention :-)

Husband just called from Cardiff to say they have thick fog there. Oddly enough, we don't up here (we live in a village above Merthyr). It;s all frosty and looks lovely. There's a foal and his mother living in a field at the back of our house and they both have their shaggy winter coats on.

Maybe you're high enough to be above it.

We were up in the Lakes once, and had decided to do the classic Coppermines vally horseshoe walk - up Wetherlam, then along to the Old Man and down. When we got up there was thick fog, but we decided to do the walk anyway, with compasses etc to hand.

As we headed up Wetherlam the light got brighter and brighter, and just as we got to the top we came out of it. Only the tops of the highest peaks were out of the cloud, just like islands. It was an incredible view. We dropped back down into the cloud to walk along the ridge, then came out of it again up to the summit of the Old Man. Totally amazing. (And the lazy so-and-so's who got up late and started after us missed it all, because the cloud rose shortly after and they saw nothing all day.)
