We had one of those foggy mornings one day early this month. I crossed the Bronson Avenue Bridge where it spans the Rideau Canal, close to home. The view west over Dow's Lake was obscured, as was the view east on the Canal.
Downtown, the fog was slowly lifting, but you can see it in the distance to the east here at the two streets that make up part of the Transitway.
This view north is from a couple of blocks south of Wellington Street. There are hints of low lying fog off to the north- I should have gone up for a look That fog would have been thick lying over the Ottawa River.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is the one thing I miss living in the desert, fog mornings. Watching the fog roll in even in the day or night. lovely.
There is something about lights in the fog.
cheers, parsnip
Glorious fog series, William!
ReplyDeleteFog can be annoying for traffic, but it is great for making photos.
ReplyDeleteThose fog photos are lovely. Beautiful for photographing. Not so great for driving!

really lends a peaceful, quiet feel.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteI truly love fog and shooting foggy photos! We've had a couple of very foggy mornings here, too. That's a lot of fun, especially when you're trying to play golf! But these are super shots, William. The one of the canal and the ones of the downtown area I particularly liked!
ReplyDeleteYa gotta be good the mess with photographing fog! I like the photos amongst the highrises and the long straight street.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous foggy shots William, you must have been up early to catch these!
ReplyDeleteFog can be interesting or spooky or gloomy---whatever you make of it.

I love fog, it makes great photos!
ReplyDeleteThe latest pictures become more serious and sad to the city.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
@Parsnip: I've gotten to like foggy days.
ReplyDelete@Linda: thanks!
@Marianne: it is.
@Janis: definitely not.
@Tex: it does, yes.
@Whisk: indeed!
@Lowell: I can see that being a challenge!
@Red: those two streets remind me of a canyon. An urban canyon. Albert and Slater hold our bus transitway system through the downtown core.
@Grace: relatively early, but not so much.
@MB: it can definitely be both.
@Sharon: it really does!
@Tomas: indeed.
Great foggy pics! We've had a lot of foggy mornings here this month and even today is with the rain and mild temperatures.
ReplyDeleteWe had some fog and mist this morning on the golf course. These foggy views are lovely!

ReplyDeleteneat-O!! ( :
You have the best moments on camera. Fog makes unique pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe fog makes your pictures look a bit dreamy. I like it!

@Beth: it does, yes.
@Marleen: fog's great for that.
@Lois: so do I.
@RedPat: usually here it burns off by ten in the morning, though there are exceptions.
Well, at least it's fog and not snow. . . yet!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWasn't that amazing? I love the change in weather.
ReplyDeleteFog can look so pretty, even romantic. Love the first and third photos especially.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and that is a very modern city.
ReplyDeleteI hate fog. It distorts everything when one is in it--even your perception. It does make for interesting photos.
ReplyDeleteLove those foggy mornings!
ReplyDeleteYour top shot could have been taken on the Golden Gate bridge!
ReplyDeleteThat third shot is especially dreamy.
ReplyDeleteFog is a nice friend most of the time especially if you don't have to drive.
ReplyDeleteYour top three photos really capture the mystery of a fog scene. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe first three shots are wonderful, it was a very photogenic fog.
ReplyDeleteI especially love those first two!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: we had snow flakes here yesterday afternoon!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: so do I.
@Gemma: thanks!
@Catalyst: a lot of the office towers are a stark contrast to the Gothic architecture that seems so dominant as well.
@Mari: it certainly does.
@Furry Gnome: I do too.
@Cloudia: they see a lot of fog!
@Kay: I thought so too.
@Bill: quite true.
@Jack: thank you.
@Jan: it was, yes.
