a trip into the fog

Yet another fog shot. I was pretty happy with how a lot of these turned out. Fog tends to make everything a little more eerie and interesting doesn't it?

hit the road, jack

I'm a sucker for a good vanishing point and/or road shot. I try my best to only take these on a fairly straight stretch of road, because I like life more than a good photo. I finally managed to get a decent one in the fog. Usually the fog isn't thick enough for this to work right. I played around with curves in Photoshop until the roadside blended better and the yellow line popped. I hope you guys like the edit!

I'm pretty grounded even if I do tend to be a bit arty and weird at times. It's rare I catch myself in what feels like a waking dream. It's so, so rare to completely (100%, from my head to my toes, from inside out) enjoy life. It's a blessing when it happens. This was one of those days. I tend to get a lot of great photos on these days. Here's some examples. (1 | 2 | 3)

As I've mentioned Dismal Creek happens to be a gem. It's one of the most beautiful areas I've been lucky enough to explore. The sight of a waterfall (The Glory Hole) that has slowly formed a hole through the bluff it once flowed over is breathtaking. It seems so fragile yet powerful at the same time.

the forbidden unknown

I love fog shots. I always get a tad jealous when I see a great shot someone's taken in the fog. Mostly because I always manage to miss fog. Having said that, I guess you can imagine that I was tickled pink when I was out shooting and "thick as pea soup" fog slowly formed. I probably stopped at every interesting tree and fence post until I had driven out of the fog. I know all the other people on this highway weren't very happy with me.

This shot was taken on my way home from the Glory Hole. No, I haven't formed any new, seedy interests as of late. The Glory Hole happens to be an amazing waterfall located near Fallsville, Arkansas. (I so didn't mention the Glory Hole for google search hits either.)
