One Foggy Morning

Back in mid March we had a couple of very foggy mornings. I thought it might be interesting to go outside and take a few photo's. The early morning darkness and the fog did not work well together. The light trails were good but the fog blurred the background to much

I did get a few good light trails and few good foggy pictures. But the two together did not work well from my point of view. Maybe you will like them better than I do.

I plan on doing some more light trail photos when it is not foggy sometime soon.

 

This is where I work

Another foggy morning

This last Saturday I hiked to Happy Hallow Park. Happy Hallow Park is in West Lafayette. I live in (east) Lafayette. It is about 5 miles from my house. A storm passed through the evening before and rained hard for a short while. But it was not that bad here.

As I was walking to the park and getting near it I began to notice there were a lot of leaves on the ground. At first I thought some maybe someone had been trimming the trees. About a quarter block for the Indian Trails entrance to the park I notice a pile of ice. I though someone dumped a cooler of ice. Then I get to the enterence and see this. Piles of hail stones from last nights storm. They were everywhere inside the park.

 

 

 

Then as I started down the trail I saw this scene. I pulled out my tripod and went to work. The shots did not come out great but I still like them.

All along the side of the trail there were patches of 1-2 inches deep hail stone piles. This was at least 12 hours after the storm. As you can see the path is covered with leaves knocked down from the trees.

A Foggy Morning

This photo I enjoyed taking and I am happy with how it came out. It came very close to capturing the moment. It was a early foggy, overcast Sunday morning. I drove the the Tippecanoe Battlefield Memorial Park. Burnett Creek runs behind the park and the north end of the Wabash Heritage Trail begins here.

Before crossing the bridge to where the trail begins I decided walk under the bridge and take a look around. I Iooked to the right and saw the scene below. I dropped by backpack on the shore, pulled out my tripod started crossing to center of the creek by walking on some rocks.

I planted my tripod in the creek and stood precariously on some rocks and took several pictures. Here are the two best ones.

 

 

The combination of the early morning light, the trees reflected in the water and how the drooping tree branches lead the eye to the fog bank make these two pictures interesting to me. I hope you enjoy them.
