The Beauty of Fog


My friend J. and I finally got together again to hike in our favorite State Park. She is my hiking buddy whom I told you about here. This year we didn't get together very often, so the more we treasured yesterday's hike.

We started out in the fog, climbed up the hill in the fog. There was absolutely no view, we saw the trail for only a couple hundred yards and it seemed to us that we were almost alone up here (later on we met a few people, though). At the end of the trail there is a beautiful lake where we usually have our picnic. When we arrived there after a 90 minute climb it looked like this:



Then the fog started to lift...



... and revealed the beauty of this place.


All these photos are SOOC.
This was what we saw.

And it was beautiful.

    i don't know what sooc means, but i do know what beautiful implies, and you surely captured the mysterious beauty of fog and friendship.

    I love fog. Your photos capture the still and quiet coolness of morning fog. There are so many foggy mornings here in my forest. I enjoy my morning cup of tea watching the fog rise up thru the trees.... but I never think to grab my camera to capture the beauty.

    Mysterious, beautiful and eerie. I felt like a heroine from a Bronte novel should step out. Lovely work, just glorious.

    Fog adds the wonderful mystery to the scenes, and that special light -- so lovely! So nice to have a hiking buddy.
