Foggy Morning on Cliff Road

Foggy Day on Altamont

On my way home from work this afternoon, the fog and the trees on Altamont Road were too good to pass up. Luckily, I had my phone!

Foggy Morning

As I have said a zillion times, "Fog is your friend." I proved it again through my windshield with my phone this morning in Crestwood. Ahhhhh

Through The Window

Literally through my car window. It has rained here for days and days.  I couldn't pass up this foggy road yesterday with my iPhone.

Perhaps...

I should have saved this to post closer to Halloween!  Fog made Oak Hill Cemetery in Jasper, even more mysterious.

Fog Settles Over Lake Logan Martin

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Fog on the Mountain

The beautiful suburb of Vestavia Hills lies south of Birmingham atop Shades Mountain.  If you're looking for some nice fog shots, this is the first place to check.  A few Saturdays ago, I headed up the "mountain" in search of some nice photographs.  I found them at Vestavia's  Sybyl Temple.  No view of the neighboring suburb of Homewood down in the valley this day. Vestavia was socked in,  but the fog enveloping the Temple was just what I had hoped for.

The Lampost

This is the lampost on the corner of my street.  Tonight I was in a hurry to get home,  but it was raining and foggy and well I actually drove by, stopped and turned the car around to take this photo.  D.C. Confidential and I had a really nice, long  conversation on the phone tonight.  She asked me if I thought I saw things differently now that I was more focused on photography.  Oh my yes!  Tonight was a prime example.  As I have mentioned before, light, shadows, well everything catches your "eye" and most of the time, you cannot walk away from it.  She commented that she now sees potential photos everywhere she looks as well.  So do you, as a photographer, see things with a "different" eye now???

Soft Winter's Day

Allow me just one more foggy day photo.  I would love to paint this but that might require dealing with my artistic frustrations,  so I will just enjoy sharing this image with you. We don't have many foggy days around here,  or maybe I just never noticed until I started seriously looking at my world with a photographer's eye.  Could be.

* My friend Blognote, Arona Every Day, what an inspiration and a mentor you have been.  I hope this photo today comes close,  in some small way, to your exquisite photographic style.

The Fog Sets In

Saturday afternoon my alma mater was getting beaten like a drum by our archrivals across the state.  I had had about as much fun as I could stand, so I turned off the television,  grabbed my camera and headed out.  It was a foggy, "mizzly" afternoon and I wasn't sure what I would find.  As luck would have it, I found this winding road shrouded in a blanket of fog.  After taking a number of photos around the neighborhood, I headed back home to watch the last half of the game.......  Just wait till next year!!!
