This past Sunday I met Paulie at Arabica for a cup of java and some catch-up talk. When we left, a pretty thick veil of fog covered the harbor. You knew the sun was soon to burn it all away, but right there and then the cover gave the area an eerie look. I called Elenka and told her of my plans for the morning and happened to mention the fog and sunlight combination. She went to the WCSH6 webcam, which views the city towards the water from a high vantage point, and all she could see was sun and blue skies. Down close to the Maine State Pier, this was not my 'world'. I sat on the passenger side of my truck with my feet dangling out the door and just drank in this fleeting site for maybe 10 more minutes.
Soon the sun broke through.
The mist hurriedly passing.
Blue sky.
Sunlight.
The warmth of the the day was near.
Photos attempt to capture the time.
Sometimes they fall lacking.
... not always as they seem.
Good distant shot of the ships.
ReplyDeleteHow are you right! Love the tugs, by the way...
ReplyDeleteI think that there's a quote at the bottom of my Ocala blog that mentions how a photograph captures a moment in time, never to be repeated. I love fog and foggy pictures. Foggy people? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment about your driver. You had me confused for a moment as I thought when you spoke of trying to find your driver, you'd check the limo.
I meant both driver and Driver!
ReplyDeleteLove those foggy kind of mornings before the sun breaks through, super interpretation of how you enjoy this also Birdman :)
ReplyDeletei like the fog - unless i have to drive in it. it socks in the world and makes things so quiet.
ReplyDeleteEyes have no competition!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I would have done the same thing. I love a wonderful foggy morning and they are very rare in the desert. It's one of the things I enjoy in California every August when I go. Waking up to that misty fog all around. I love it.
ReplyDeleteFog gives such a sense of mystery! Hate driving in it though.
ReplyDeleteA great catch! Those tugs look huge.
ReplyDeleteMy header shots: Photoshop Elements - pull up photo (from my desktop through browse) - Go to filter (along top) - artistic - then poster edge. There are many choices, ie watercolor etc.
You mean tugs in foggy prison. Right? I love the moment when fog lifts and sun starts shining through.
ReplyDeleteKind of reminds me of the lyrics to a song . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteTerrific composition!
ReplyDeleteFog is an elusive character, especially on cameras.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful way to start the day. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteThose are some big tug boats.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, photos are like people. Amazing how a group of people interpret an event so differently.
ReplyDeletei love foggy photos!
