Midway (gone away), 1
A foggy day, an abandoned drive-in theater: how could it get any better? Well, having a camera would make it better. How fortunate that I did have one on hand…

No reason, maybe, for pink
From a distance, looming through the fog, we could see that pink rectangle. Gradually its building started to appear.

Shimmering Curtain
I really don’t do well in groups, which you’ve probably already figured out.
So this may not surprise you. There was a woman in our group in London who got on my very last nerve. She was good, too: she didn’t gradually have that effect on me. It was instant, from the very first time she spoke.
Then, later, on the bus, just after I made this photo, she tapped me on the shoulder to explain how my picture wouldn’t work, that it would only show foggy windows and nothing else. A regular photo critic, she was.
Anyway, it looks like she was right, and I’m being far to harsh about the situation. That shouldn’t surprise you, either.

Breakfast run, in the fog
Around here, a foggy morning is sort of a treat. I had my camera with me because I had plans to get some photos along the route to work. This one wasn’t in the original plan, and I saw it at the very last minute before the light changed and traffic started to move. In fact, there wasn’t even enough time to roll down the window, which explains some of the odd, ghosty things in the image. At least, I think that explains them…

Fog, turbines, and sunlight
This was a stunning sight. For one thing, fog’s not very common around here, so any foggy day has a bit of mysterious feel to it. And to see fog rising over the edges of the Caprock was a treat. Add in a handful of wind turbines slicing away at the mist, and a bit of a sparkle from where the sun hit the electrical insulators and train-track ballast;*. I’ve never seen anything like it.
