Art Walk Friday

"What is your favorite landscape genre?"

This was Rhonda's challenge for this week's Art Walk Friday. I have wanted to participate in this challenge for quite some time, but never really did (and please don't ask why - uncertainty? not feeling good enough? who knows...). This week, however, I decided to finally "throw" my photo in.

I love to take pictures of landscapes in not so ideal conditions. Fog is one of my favorite moods to shoot along - it's mysterious, magical and always changes (at least at the edges). I found that there are different kinds of fog - in Maine I experienced the fog as a veil that softly lays down; here on the West Coast the fog is more like a blanket that heavily covers everything beneath it. Its beauty appears when it starts to slowly lift and dance around.

Like here at my favorite lake. I had just dropped off the kids at school and wanted to go on a quick brisk walk. When I arrived in the parking lot I saw how beautiful the fog lingered among the trees and above the lake. Fortunately I had my small point-and-shoot camera with me (though I prefer my DSLR) and spent a wonderful creative hour shooting away happily.

    Beautiful Carola! How is that a "not so ideal" condition? It's perfect!

    Hi Carola, I like fog, too. The sound is different when your in it and it never stays around very long. Pretty photo. Must have been a nice walk, too. (P.S. - I must have 20 nutcrackers over the years, all from, who else, but my mom)

    Isn't it just the best when you happen upon those unexpected circumstances like fog rolling in and out? Makes me forget about time altogether! Beautiful image!!
