Tugs In Fog

Things are not always as they seem.
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.

  3. I 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.

    Re 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.

  7. Oh 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.

  8. Fog gives such a sense of mystery! Hate driving in it though.

  9. A great catch! Those tugs look huge.

    My 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.
