Low Sky

When I woke up this morning our house was surrounded by mist. I wandered down to the beach to get a photo and you can only just see the headland off to the right of this picture. It took until 1 pm today for the sun to appear. We don't get many days where the low sky stays around for half of the day.

Must make you wistful for England again, eh!?! We have so many days like this. I can quite understand why you opted for Australia!

[Sarah]

Wonderful shot

[Babs]

@casablanca Wistful! Yeah right. I complained about the low sky even though it brightened up by 1 pm. The good thing about winter in Australia is that it isn't winter every day. Apparently sunshine and 19 degrees C tomorrow is forecast.

Today brought back memories for David, he said it looked like Blaenau Ffestiniog. Our house was in the clouds this morning.

very bleak

[Maggiemae]

Nice focus! I do think that some photos have a 'feeling ' as well! As is here! fav

[Peter]

Interesting image Babs , you have capture a real sense of the cold damp morning:)

[Carole Sandford]

Not a picture you expect to come out of Oz! Here yes! Plenty of atmosphere.

[sally agnew]

It looks very dismal and cold :)

[Diana]

A lovely capture with the boats, albeit vold for sure.

[Valerie Chesney]

Misty & cold but, a beautiful image.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very moody scene. Gorgeous. Fav.

[Lou Ann]

A moody scene, it does look so cold.

[Susie]

Great atmospheric image

[Jodie]

I love a good misty photo, I can never get out of the house early enough to capture it, though if I had until 1pm I might be able to manage it

[ChristineL]

It creates an atmospheric image though :)

[gloria jones]

Neat atmospheric capture and depth

[Henri Russell]

Very eerie.

[Joyce]

Wonderfully atmospheric shot Fav

[Nicole Campbell]

Brisbane was clear and sunny and quite warm. The cafe I had breakfast had the outdoor heaters turned on. The Queenslanders really don't know what winter feels like. It is going to be -3 tonight and approximately 1 degree tomorrow morning when the girls are playing netball!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot. I love how you captured the mist.

[Mave]

Very atmospheric

[Taffy]

Quite mysterious feeling.

[Paul]

A lovely moody image :-)

[Debbie]

A very moody image... It's amazing how mist really adds another dimension to a shot

[Call me Joe]

Wonderful and moody 👍💕

[Pat Knowles]

This photo reminds me of the poem..If you go down to the sea today, the lonely sea & the sky....you know the one. As soon as I saw it that poem went through my mind. It's lovely & I like days like this, it is winter in Australia after all. We had temperatures of 17deg in NZ there winter too, that is a summer day many a time in the UK.

[carol white]

Lovely atmospheric composition and muted tones. Fav!! 😀

[Ann Williams]

You're certainly experiencing different weather at the moment Babs. A contrast to your sun and blue sea shots.

[Chris K]

lovely atmospheric shot Babs. We had lots of mist in France and I loved it.

[Sue Cooper]

Very atmospheric. A lovely shot.

[Pyrrhula]

@sarahlth @hrs @maggiemae @pcoulson @hermann @ludwigsdiana @happysnaps @sangwann @louannwarren @susie1205 @jodies @inthecloud5 @seattlite @henrir @thistle @mittens @mave @taffy @paul10 @deborah63 @joemuli @carolmw @flowerfairyann @cruiser @susiemc @pyrrhula @suzanne234 @kwind @kjarn Thanks. It wasn't too cold just rather low clouds. I think there had been storms out at sea because there was an awful lot of sea foam and sea grass on the beach. I will post a photo of that in a couple of days time.

@carole_sandford The good thing about winter in Australia is that it isn't winter every day. Check out today's picture and see the difference.

@nicolecampbell A bit of a difference between Brisbane and Canberra isn't it.

@happypat Sea Fever by John Masefield is one of my Mum's favourite poems and I recite it often as I walk along the beach.

@golftragic Watch this space Marnie and you will see the difference a day makes.

[Marnie]

@onewing I'll be watching!

[haskar]

Great atmosperic shot.
