Limited Visibility Doesn't Quite Cover It

Nice images. #2 would be may favorite as well. The feelings of the fog are enhance due to the contrast and sharpness of the streetlight and colors in the foreground, while everything get softer and softer deeper into the image. Really shows off the fog affect. Nicely done and pretty image.
Thanks Nalu - I appreciate your very nice comments. Until now I never really understood how surreal foggy images can be.

Very nice! I also love fog and recently posted some fog shots. Sometimes I like it so dense the only thing you get are ghost-like images while at other times I like a very light fog where sunbeams filter through. Number 2 is especially nice with the "S" curve pathway.

The gazebo with the chain-link fence and benches around makes me think there is going to be a rumble of opposing gangs like extreme cage fighting! Actually, I see the construction materials and know it is a project under construction. I think they are missing the boat though with those benches. If used for a wedding, who would want park benches in their photos? At the very least the ones on the grassy side should be removed so that if people are viewing a concert they could sit on blankets on the lawn and not be blocked by people sitting on the benches. The gazebo is lovely and the park benches do not add to the ambiance of the setting.

Thanks greyfox - I'm glad you liked it and always appreciate your comments. The heavy fog just blanketed everything, and actually stuck around for a good bit of time.

Thanks Bridges - I appreciate your very nice comments. Number 2 was my favorite as well. Light fog with sunbeams sounds good; I'll watch for those chances.

Bridges - the idea of a rumble made me smile. The old wooden gazebo was severely damaged in a storm, and I think they carried on with the existing design while using steel support structures, as this was a much loved part of the park.

I love fog and fog shots. These are very nice.
That said, I have driven in heavier fog in the Central Valley of California where I could barely see the hood ornament on my car and the headlights didn't make two car lengths.
And in 11th grade in Modesto in the 61-62 school year they closed the schools for the last three days of a four-day heavy fog. A CHP car guarding the rear of a school bus the first day rear ended the bus when they went through a patch of fog so thick the officer couldn't see the bus and hit it because the bus driver had stopped when visibility went to zero.
The schools stopped classes, sent everyone to their homerooms to read and those who lived close enough were allowed to walk home. I left and walked to my Uncle's house two blocks away where my cousins and I proceeded to do homework, read and watch the cartoon channel on TV until my Mom got off work and came to get me during a thinner patch of fog.

Thanks Robert - I'm glad you liked the shots and appreciate your comments. What an interesting memory; I've never seen fog as you described, and that would be something I'd remember for a long time.
