On A Clear Day You Can See....

Woke up this morning to find there was quite a heavy fog in the area. Mrs IU had plans elsewhere for the day and I was tasked with painting part of the landing ceiling off the back of a cold water tank leak that had occured a cooiple of months before Christmas.  Having completed that, I dec ided it would be a good idea to get some photos of what I thought would be the fog clearing...I had in my mind where to go and the affect I was after, but as I was driving around, it was clear (forgive the pun) that the fog itself was not clearing that well.  

But I went to the first location and could not see anything apart from fog, so drove to another area which was a bridge over our local river and it was only marginally better, The other problem in taking photos here is that the bridge is right on a very busy trunk road with juggernauts thundering across the bridge.  The vibrations coupled with the blasts of air as they go by can by can be a little frustrating, not forgetting those who think it is humorous to give out a blast on the air horns too. 

Anyhow,  I took a couple of photos and then drove home somewhat disappointed.

I was even more disappointed when Mrs IU got home and told me that on her drive out and as she went into a higher area, that the fog had totally cleared and it was brillian sunshine....had I known this, or perhaps even thought about it, I would have gone there and taken some photos looking down onto the foggy areas, but thinking retrospectively, the sun being low this time of year would have been too bright as I would have to look toward it to get the photos.  Soemtimes, you just cannot win.. 

Anyhow, here is the result of my efforts.  On a clear day, you can see....welll a town and a church atop higher fround. I'm sure I will return there on another day and hopefully you will see what I know is there, but for now, you will have to use your imagination, which is sometimes what photography is about.....I wonder where that path leads to and what is around the corner.......
