The Fog and Trees


It was a bit after suppertime when I went out to do an errand.  I drove by this golf course - it's a place I drive and cycle by almost once a day.  But this time it was raining and late in the day, and the light was fading, and there was this light fog in and among the trees.  I think it was the darkness and fog that got me to stop.  The killer is that the golf course is surrounded by a chain link fence and there are bushes growing up above the fence.  So the problem is to find a place where I could see over the fence and through the bare branches.  I had to hold the camera above my head, and push my arms through the branches and then shoot in the blind.  Then I would bring the camera back and look at what I had shot.  Then I would make a pointing adjustment, and shoot again.  Well, it worked, but this is photographing the hard way.
