That'd be good... you got anything along those lines?
No, unfortunately.
We rarely get fog in Southeastern PA, but the next trip to Acadia/Mount Desert Island I will certainly look for some stuff.

The first image below was the original image in a style I dubbed "Tempest Lighting", but it fits equally well in darkside methinks.
And then I got caught up in the moment and kept going .....

Longshadow, I present to you a horseman whose head was "cut off", albeit, only by the picture frame.
During the American Revolutionary War, armies had to walk many, many miles between engagements. They discovered that if an infantryman could hold on to the stirrup of a calvaryman's horse, it supported his weight to a small degree, and they could walk further and faster. They developed a rotation scheme such that a soldier would hold onto the left stirrup for a half hour, then let go, walk around the horse and hold onto the right stirrup for a half hour, then let go altogether to wait for another rotation. In the meantime, another soldier had taken his place and proceeded through each step as before. And each calvary horse had a small cadre of infantryman trailing along beside it. Quite a sight.

Old Truck by the Lake with Girl. A photo from my archives that I still work on occasionally.

Interesting history, but where are the spooky trees?
