Fog in the olive grove

a very unusual sight to see fog only on the ground before sunrise. Mum and Dad Dikkop were under their usual tree behind our fence.

That is a proper 'horror story' mist.....:)

Lovely foggy scene!

Wonderful capture of all this ground fog! I always find it so beautiful. The birds look bigger in this photo than I thought they would be too. Perhaps it’s just the perspective?

[Esther Rosenberg]

Beautiful foggy scenery.

[Jennifer Eurell]

Doesn't a bit of fog totally change things. Nice shot.

Terrific capture and I love the mist.

[Shutterbug]

I love that look and feel. We get that effect mostly by the river. I used to love that when we used to meet our friends for a run on Saturdays. It makes it so peaceful.

@grammyn @narayani the Dikkop is about 34-43cm (13-17 inches) tall, weighs about 365-450 grams (12-16 oz) and is 7.2cm (15 inches ) long. The wingspan is about 200-245 mm (20-24.5 in) :-)
