I neglected to follow the spirit of my blog for the past few days as I haven't made a new entry since the 27th, due to my inability to access any of my technological instruments since then. However, it is a new year and it will be a good one for new pictures and getting back on track with the blog. It's been a strange few days with the weather patterns: wind, rain and drizzle, and lots of fog. Not just the thin layer of fog seen almost every morning, but the thick, soupy fog that cause all the wrecks heard about on the news most nights. I went out and shot the Monroe water tower, or at least attempted to, in the thick fog next to the interstate running through town. As I was driving to the area, the tower was almost missed even though I had been over in that area many, many times. Almost like a lighthouse appearing on the outcroppings of the ocean, the tower started to come out of the fog and I saw the outline of it. What made the picture more interesting to me is that the tower is painted white, making the silhouette a cool contrast against the fog. Only when I got up near it did the entire tower become visible and I wanted to try and get a photo from beneath, hoping the top would be swallowed by the fog. Nonetheless, I found it a neat shot on a foggy, cool, wintery day starting the new year.
