365 Days Wild - Day 155 (100 Days Happy - Day 42)

It has been very foggy again :) I love fog. It sat in the valley, a thick fog, all day, but on higher ground the sun was shining. Driving home from school I stopped to take some photos of the fog bank down below and saw my first ever Brocken Spectre - a little bit exciting. It's not terribly bright in the photo (I could clearly see the rainbow at the time), and I couldn't get my shadow high enough (I was already standing on a wall here) but it's there. Not as good as the ones you see on mountains, or places like Mam Tor, but still, my half Brocken was a nice moment :)

Some foggy scenes from my travels today will appear tomorrow on my wild blog - http://louises30dayswild.blogspot.co.uk/

Lovely shot, I love the way fog hides things making the view totally different.
