Silent Waves of Fog

Had a short night of sleep but slept sound for most of it and feel rested. Headed out early and discovered a bit of fog on the eastern plains. A world of clouds and haze until the sun burns it off. Very humid and cool morning with 96% humidity and 57 degrees. It is fascinating to watch fog as it changes and moves like a wave ever so silently and quickly. Fog does not hang around for too long. It is a cloud at the earth’s surface. A wave moving over bales of hay.

A touch of pink in this image as the sun is about to rise behind the low clouds in the east. We are seeing fields of both the ripening wheat and three foot tall stalks of corn. Farmers are irrigating the fields of corn so lots of surface moisture to generate the fog. Where I’m standing is a ditch full of gurgling water, almost like having my own little stream. Have a great day!

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Even before I saw the photos the title told me what they would feel like. Lovely scenes. A little moisture can make for dramatic photographs, and you’ve got at least two, likely more. I especially like the second one, with the fence in the foreground and the trees in the background peeking out of the fog layer. The gradation of color is the cherry on the sundae! 😉

      I like that, “cherry on the sundae.” Fog along the front range is sparse and for sure does not last long. Our Colorado sun burns it off quickly. I had a good morning, leaving way before the sun came up. Both images were predawn shots. For me, the first image is about the feeling of waves and the second one is about mystery. They were taken 8 minutes apart, the fence being the first taken.
