Waiting for the fog.

    Just give me some tall weeds growing in front of the sunset, and I am a happy gal :)

    Especially when the sunset had the potential to be breathtaking and was a bit meh.
    I went to the usual spot early enough to catch different stages of it, but the very heavy and dark cloud blew it. The sun hid behind it pretty fast, and the show was over. No crazy colours, no rays. Just a bit of gold on smudged clouds.

    But when that happens, it is always good to use it as a background for some silhouettes. Since there were no other humans around, I used plants. Tall, dead autumn weeds.

    Few of them had spiderwebs tangled in them.

    And my imagination already saw how cool they would look with waterdrops. The mist that showed up later on probably did a good job on that, but I wasn't there to see it. Maybe if I went there early in the morning before it all evaporates...
    I did not to do that though ;p

    The sun almost gone. The horizon slowly turns black.
    My favourite part of the day :)

    But wait... there is more weeds!
    I think its called Chenopodium album - a very common and edible weed that can be cooked like spinach. It grows everywhere.

    I mentioned mist - you can already see here the start of it and how it slowly crawls into the fields.

    It was already a quiet evening, but fog makes it all even calmer. No wind, no loud noises, just a soft cloud hanging, muting everything else.

    And the later and darker it was getting, the more fog was crawling in.

    Such a pity it didn't show up earlier and much thicker. I don't think I have ever shot fog before.
