Caption: Wetlands A foggy morning walk
Caption: When I woke and looked out the window there it was...the fog.
Autumn fog.
I had been looking forward to this day.
I love photo walks in the fog.

Caption: The fog allows you to go on a very common walk and see it in a totally new and different way.
Distractions disappear. Background buildings, signs, wires and lights are all gone.
Nothing but the essentials are left.
It's the magic.

Caption: Normally this particular walk, although great for a quiet meditative walk, is not all that photogenic to me.
But bring on the fog and it becomes mysterious, magical and photogenic.

Are you guys following me?

Caption: One nice effect is that this usually well trafficked walking path is pretty devoid of other walkers.
This is what meditative walking is all about. The quiet, the mysterious, the magical.
A few hard core souls still come out. There is not a lot of the normal chatting or friendly greetings as people enjoy the quietness but the smiles continue.

Caption: As the morning wears on it begins to warm. The sun is trying to break through and put an end to the magical morning. Buildings hidden in the mystical fog now begin to show themselves. We know it had to end eventually but the time passed so quickly.

Caption: Time to head back.
Time to get some work done, run errands, pay bills and get back to the normal traffic of life.
It was nice while it lasted.

Caption: Hopefully there will be a few more foggy mornings. I have a couple of other locations that will be great to shoot in the fog.
A favorite time of year for me.
