“Foggy Morning,” Photograph by Vaughan M.
I like the muted sounds, the shroud of grey, and the silence that comes with fog –Om Malik
This trio of trees sits near the entrance of the University campus where I work and where my son goes to school. Many things grab our attention during our commute, and when we see something worth a shot, the not-so-little one takes control of the camera and photographs while I drive.
In fact, he shot the photo above a couple of days ago as we drove onto campus. The clouds were hanging low for much of the ride, but when we entered the campus area, earth and sky met.
It seemed the fog–or condensation–rose from the ground simply to mingle with the clouds.
It was eery. Interesting. Beautiful.
Unfortunately, since I’d planned to head straight home after dropping my son off at school, I did not have my camera. But…fortunately, he grabbed my phone and started snapping away. He managed a number of strong shots, but the trees, obviously, are my favorite.
I am joining Parul Thakur for #ThursdayTreeLove every second and fourth Thursday of the month. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to her latest #treelove post.
Stunning! I guess it difficult to keep ones eyes on the road when driving in these beautiful surroundings 🙂

I absolutely love that shot. Your son has done a great job clicking that. You are right – it does feel a bit eerie but gorgeous. As if somewhere far, a lamp would flicker and then Sun would come up. I am so glad you decided to share this and join this week. Makes me happy!

Your son has a wonderful capture here. Isn’t fog marvelous (as long as you don’t have to drive in it?) Loved it!

Yes! I love fog. Driving in it is kind of cool as long as I have some visibility and the other drivers keep their fog lights on. I especially love it when hubby is driving and I can take in all the “eery” scenes. 🙂
