Misty morning photos

This week I am showing some photographs taken in the morning when there was a light fog gradually being burnt off by the sun. The first photograph above shows some detail of a small twig of hawthorn bush. Due to the damp the ends of the spines are dripping with water and the fine spider webs are full of spheres of dew. I am fascinated by detail such as this.

The second view below is the one I have chosen to be this week's featured photograph. It was taken from the southern part of our smallholding and looks across to a neighbours farm. What I like about this is how the view gets more misty with distance. The orange foreground is quite clear, the trees in the middle are barely obscured by the mist, whilst the farmhouse and trees in the distance are starting to get indistinct.



This final photo below is a 'contre-jour' (into the light) view of a shrub in a field boundary. The low sun is just out of view on the right, but you can see the haze in the distance. Again, I like the detail in this shot, not just the main subject in the foreground, but the trees in the mist further back.



More can be seen in the miscellaneous images gallery.
