Warm Air + Cool Ocean = The Arrival of Hurricane Season
What an interesting weather day it was! There was no need of a jacket, and Ken even went golfing wearing shorts. That was before the golf course, across the water, was socked in with fog! Actually, this was when the fog was rising and the visibility was good again! Not a half hour before there was a blanket of white air between where I stood and across the way! From our porch, the view was clear down the street, but beyond was a blanket of white fog.
It's just midnight, the end of this day, and the air has been still and so quiet. We're told that's all about to change...providing some different weather pictures in the days ahead!
Wonderful shot with the cropped vessel in the front.....you can really feel how still the air is. Same thing happened to us a couple of weekends ago when we were in San Clemente. I had planned to photograph the pier at sunset, and I was taking some shots from the pier and down at the beach waiting for that magical hour, and all of a sudden visibility diminished and the fog blanketed everything!! Within a matter of minutes the pier had disappeared from sight! My jaw literally dropped at how quickly it had all happened...
@panthora I was JUST about to shut down for the night when I got your always enjoyable note! This fog made me think of the times I've flown alongside a puffy cloud and I wonder what it would be like to touch it... On a day like today, I believe I did! I've never seen the view (awhile prior to this photo) totally disappear like that!
The deck is nearly done; electrical needs to be added for lighting. Then trees reshaped...and a garden put in with plants that survive winter...and it should be lovely by the day we're ready to leave! I'll bet you're really enjoying your finished work!
Louise, this is breathtaking! It takes me to well-remembered places, sights, and sounds that continue to draw me back to the coasts each time I have the chance! fav
Like you and @panthora, I experienced rapid fog blanketing the coast when I was in Maine. It was incredibly just how quickly it (literally) blows in off the ocean. I feared for some of the boats but know they know what they're doing. It also brought immense relevance to the 67 lighthouses along the coast.
A great view and a beautiful capture of the lake , the hills and the boats.
If you will do me a fever, send some more pic.`s of the Bluenose II. In my opinion: the most beautiful ship ever build.
@pyrrhula This "lake" is Lunenburg Harbour and the hill in the background is "The Bluenose Golf Course". Onyx17 (Marek) @onyx gave me some suggestions about using the widest bracketing possible, and though I've not come close to the possibilities he's shared, this was a first attempt and I can see the marvelous depth of colour that I'd not gotten before! I'm so appreciative for his assistance! His work is sublime!
@panthora rereading this this morning, "best laid plans" comes to mind! I went out to get some video this morning of the leaves fluttering down off the trees...it's raining and the wind is picking up...I wonder what we have in store...will just be bummed if I lose power... If it happens, I have lots of candles, and I owe a friend a written letter! (can you believe that in this day and age she chooses not to own a computer?!)
Hurricane season is not fun, and living in Miami I can say it, but we have to do what we need to. This is a wonderful composition, love how you included the boat. The misty background is lovely.
@Weezilou Thank you dear Louise for the explanation and the link to onix 17. I`ve watch it and see what you mean. I often think about to join a photo club to improve my skills but I`ve less time and other hobby`s I prefer to do. You can`t have it all.
@pyrrhula Oh, like you, I don\'t know where I might fit in the hours for a photo club as well! The good folks on this site have been wonderful in assisting me with projects I don't understand. Perhaps, by better understanding some of these things, I'd gain more from an actual class when I have time...

Rain and wind...it's heading our way...
well, those are MY "best laid plans"!
