For a few weeks early this month we had overcast skies and a lot of fog, some of it only breaking for a few hours in early afternoon and then returning.
In fact, I can't recall a time when I ever saw so much of it, day after day. Made for some pretty views though.
It wasn't too bad, although I was glad when the sun finally returned. I think overcast with fog is a lot pleasanter than just overcast without it, given the sights we get (or don't!)
What to watch for is places where you can see things, such as trees, scattered along the line of sight toward the horizon. Because the near ones are less fuzzed-out than the far ones, it helps to create that layered effect of gauzy-looking fog.
It's hard to get good pictures of fog where you know you're looking at fog and not a dirty lens or have just as solid color. That first one is really nice, I think.
There were some days of significant fog in my region this month, too. It's not uncommon by any means, but people still seem unable to drive for conditions... I'm grateful to work from home and have the option of just not leaving the house at all on those days. I do think it's rather pretty, though. Kinda mystical? (Or terrifying, when I think of movies like The Fog.)

Date: 2024-02-22 01:08 pm (UTC)Mr Eliot meets Mr Shakespeare
The wind moans under the eaves
And Winter, cold fingered, gropes
About the house once more
'Now is the Winter of our discontent'
The fire warms itself in the grate
And flames, warm fingered
Rub themselves like old men's hands
'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow'
The fog stalks cold around the house
And mist, light fingered,
Feels every gap, like a blind man.
'I see thee, yet I have thee not'
Wind, fire and fog about grey stone.
Ivy, fickle fingered scans the storied slab
Like life's poor player who struts and frets,
'And then is heard no more'
