Not much that one can get on camera in this kind of weather.
But I will show you where the mist came from, and also some beach front shots. The first two shots were taken above our town, then there is one beachfront shot, and then I will show you where the mist came from. Whenever I see the mist, then I will pop up to the high spot on a hill to see what the horizons look like. I can only see the northern and the southern horizons, as the east is blocked by the mountains and the west is the Atlantic Ocean.
In this case, the view to the ocean was blocked to the west by the mist, but I got some pictures of the buildings at the seafront. Like I said, it was difficult to get the shots in the misty conditions. But the town was not sleeping while all the mist was around as the roads had much traffic going about. So, the locals are used to the misty conditions, and they just carry on with life. I will insert descriptions above each of the pictures.
This, and the first picture, was taken from the high hill above the town.
Then, a quick look at the seafront.
And this was where the mist was coming from, as it drifted on the surface below the mountain range.
And the mist started to creep over the ocean.
You can see the faint outline of a mountain across the bay, and below the seafront buildings.
Another two shots below of the seafront and the mountains.
A closer shot here of the seafront buildings.
Thankfully as always, the mist started to clear later in the morning.
And that's it, as I packed the camera away in my shoulder bag and we were on our way to start the day. There is a saying that your problems will disappear like mist before the sun, and I like this saying as so many times this happened to me in my life. Every time that I see the mist clearing up, it reminds me of that saying, and also the futility of worrying about nothing. Not always, mind you, as some big problems can also be stubborn and they require more attention before they can settle.
I often wonder what these views looked like 100 years ago, as then there was no town, and all was farmland. We have a friend that owns one of the farms that is still intact and undisturbed, and he is a veritable library of information about the origins before all of the developments started to take place. He also has a host of stories about the struggles of the early settlers to overcome not only the land but also to find a way over the mountain. It could take 3 days with a horse-drawn buggy to travel from the big city to this area. Today, we cover the distance in 30 minutes.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
