Still in the Fog

Kind of continuing from my previous blog because in reality it is foggy season, and as I walk in the early morning I usually catch the fog when it is visiting. Most of my walks are around the Westhaven Marina, hence most of pics are of the same...point in time below
How cool is that and just one of mother nature's little contrasts.
She just has it all going on, I guess when it comes to colour, she is the queen of all created colour, as it comes from the earth, all the colours of life I hold so dear. Needless to say she is not always as peaceful as she appears in my photos, but I give thanks everyday that she provides me with a beautiful canvas to start my day and inspires me to accompany my camera on more morning walks.

Patterned Weather

I think the weather provides us with some of the greatest colours in the universe. With a few simple changes of weather vibrant buildings become subdued placements on the landscape.

On my walk yesterday the fog rolled in, and it does roll, in an out and if you stand in one place, one minute you can be completely surrounded and the next in the sun, and vice versa.
I walked down to Birkenhead Wharf earliesh the fog surrounded the yachts moored in the little bay, with no mighty Harbour Bridge to frame them or our biggest city in the backdrop!
I thought I would wait for the ferry to emerge out of the fog, which was now so close my clothes were getting damp. It was nearly at the wharf before I saw it, just travelling ever so slowly like a scary American movie.

I love the fog, it gives new life to everday things, as it rolls away, there is an extra twinkle on the flowers and the trees, and in autumn, with the colours changing it gives an extra dimension to our outlook! Yeah for 'changing seasons and colours'.

My friendly fisherman was not having any luck, and when I asked him if the fog was the reason he was giving up he said no "I have to take my children to school now" - some of us walk before work and some of us fish!
