Been Caught Lurking in Fairytale Fog

It was foggy the other day when I was out driving (no camera) and then when I got home. I set off down the street to this long driveway to better capture it.

Love this driveway and it's long stretch and bend. I've considered doing selfies there.

And on the day I finally go over (granted it was rush hour), and I was standing halfway down it...the resident comes home and finds me creepily lurking in his yard.

I apologized, he grinned. So no foul done hopefully.

I'm wearing the hat this week @madhatters

And here is a little kick the weekend off party music that helped inspired the title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrwjiO1MCVs

Why is it that I get away with nothing? I am always caught. What a creep!

[Danny G.]

So very atmospheric! Love the fog and snow together. And now I want to walk down that driveway (when the weather warms up, that is)! FAV

[Simply Amanda]

@soboy5 I do, too...wish I could figure out how to do that without being a creep. I so want to use this driveway for portraits, too. Such a neat path. I suppose I could walk up there and introduce myself and ask....

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Atmospheric!

[Krista Marson]

really gorgeous capture.

[Lin]

I want someone to write a story based on this capture! Fabulous fav for me!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

At first I thought this was a bike trail/jogging bath until I read your narrative. Beautiful capture and too funny about your being "caught in the act." Did you know we have a beautiful trail that winds all around Orlando now? The Seminole Co. part is only a mile from us and it's so lovely.

[Simply Amanda]

@linnypinny A book cover look perhaps? I'd love to photograph book covers. Thank you!

[Simply Amanda]

@cimes1 No I did not. What is it called? It is so embarrassing to be busted.

[Carole Imes]

It is called the Cross Seminole Trail in the Seminole Co. portion. Here is the link. It is used by joggers, bikers, even horseback riders. I have some photos in my project taken during Year 1 and 2. Here is a link: http://www.seminolecountyfl.gov/parksrec/trails_streetscapes/trails_crosssem.aspx

beautiful shot ... great comp and capture of the fog

[Tremerryn]

Great comp and story ... very atmospheric!

[Jane Anderson]

I'm sure your neighbor understood why you were there--this scene is just begging to be photographed!

[gloria jones]

Great leading line, composition, misty, foggy atmosphere

[Cindy]

grand capture

[April]

I love foggy curving paths...so mysterious!

[Lisa Poland]

Great fog!

[Paula W]

You do make me laugh Amanda, I wonder what he thought! Worth it though as it's a great shot, full of foggy mystery!

[Shailesh]

i love this kind of picture...always makes me wonder what is there beyond the bend .. fav

[KWind]

Nice path and fog. I like the mood.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Love Foggy views

[David]

Love that fog... really it makes the shot. With that big smile of yours, Amanda, you could get away with anything! :-)

[Anna Christina]

Gorgeous shot!

[Rosie Kerr]

Lovely atmospheric shot... your story behind it made me laugh. That is why I can't do street shots very well... I always look like a stalker. :)

[Graham Thresher]

Super atmosphere

[Paula McLaughlin]

Such a wonderful fairy tale, misty path! Of course, it needed to be photographed--it's beautiful. I was out "stalking" misty landscapes, too. There was an amazing Ice sculpture dripping off someone's house but the ice was next to a window so I "chickened out" afraid the homeowner would yell at me. You are a brave photographer, Amanda!

[Julia]

Looks lovely and moody

[Kathy]

LOVE FOG!!! This is really cool and love the creepy effect it has, you just know there is an axe murderer around that bend in the road!!! Or the owner coming home!! ROFL!! I've never got caught lurking or trespassing...yet...knock on wood!! Love this capture!! FAV!!

[Kathy]

PS. Be glad you weren't naked when you got caught!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@cashew I am always caught! He seemed delighted to catch me, though.

[Darlene]

I love foggy shots, especially with the snow. So well done, Amanda. Sure wish we could at least get some fog. FAV

[Maggiemae]

Love this driveway as you do! I don't think I would have the nerve to go down though! fav

[Simply Amanda]

@cashew I may have been;-).

[Kathy]

@amandal ROFLMBO!!! Now that would make him delighted to catch you!!!

[Pam]

ha ha! Fantastic mood to this.

[☠northy]

wonderful misty feel to this... so sorry you were busted - but hey, it makes for an excellent story!

[Gena Pegg]

I bet he's used to seeing you "lurk"??? Great shot.

[Gail]

what a stunning shot. Getting caught was definitely worth the pic, don't worry... but if we're ever together, I ain't doing anything naughty with you! I'll do it on my own cause then I won't get caught. ;-)

[Lee]

Very atmospheric shot, and someones cleared that drive perfectly.

[Simply Amanda]

@gailmmeek I get caught even when I am not naughty...and so rarely if I am naughty. Naughty in a group, and it's me that's busted. Always!

[Gail]

@amandal i have to admit to knowing what that's like. I have one of those faces too... at school I'd often get blamed for something going on in the class, even when I wasn't even involved... just had that look of guilt written across my face I suppose! Ha!
