Path to nowhere

[puddleshark]

I had originally planned to head over to Stourhead this weekend, thinking how lovely the lake would look in this grey weather. But I woke up this morning with a sore throat, feeling too feeble to make that long drive north, so instead took a quiet walk out through the forest to the marshes.




The birch trees display their riches carelessly: golden leaves, a drop of silver at the end of every twig. Sooner or later the wind will steal their fortune.







The path beside the marshes. Silent mist-blurred conifers to one side, and nothingness to the other.







It was a good walk. All the dogwalkers were out, and I got to say hello to two happy poodles, a charming little black spaniel, a very enthusiastic vizla, and a very sweet blue-eyed husky.

So moody & beautiful with the mists rising.

And I'm impressed that even with a sore throat, you were out there tromping.

I love it when November makes with the fog & special effects - makes the photographer's life so much easier!

Very moody!

It wouldn't be a proper November if we didn't get a bit of fog...

Lots of fog and atmosphere, it must have felt a bit eerie. So beautiful though.

It wasn't the thick disorientating fog you sometimes get here down by the coast, when you're walking along waiting for a landmark to loom out of the cloud so you can figure out where you are. Just enough fog to be nicely atmospheric!
