foggy friday
What we do see depends mainly on what we look for...
in the same field the farmer will notice the crop,
the geologists the fossils,
botanists the flowers,
artists the colouring,
sportsmen the cover for the game.
Though we may all look at the same things,
it does not all follow that we should see them.
John Lubbock
To learn to see-
to accustom the eye to calmness,
to patience,
and to allow things to come up to it;
to defer judgment,
and to acquire the habit of approaching
and grasping an individual case from all sides.
This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality.
One must not respond immediately to a stimulus;
one must acquire a command
of the obstructing and isolating instincts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is a brief period of twilight of which I am especially fond,
little more than a moment,
when I see what seems to be color without light,
followed by another brief period of light without color.
The earlier period, like a dawn of night,
calls up such sights as at all other times are hidden,
wistful half-formless presences neither of day nor night,
that draw up with them similar presences in the mind.

Excellent work! Looking forward to some exciting times ahead!
This is very bad Steemit etiquette to comment and then upvote yourself and not me, the poster. Just saying,
Excellent quotes that explore the subject matter of the photos - it's a challenge in photography shooting something that is indistinct, but you focussed on the foreground all allowed the background to remain elusive and mysterious. Good work!
Thanks sir.
Always nice to see original artistic content.
Thank you so much @baerdric. Very kind of you to say.
I love how you lose trees in the fog, where do you find yourself? go through my blog and see my new content, greetings :D
Thank you @sorn1992. I appreciate your feedback.
Oh that is nice!! We have been getting a vicious fog in the evenings!
There is something soothing and scary at the same time....walking in the fog. Especially at night.....
Your words and photos were very calming tonight. I made myself slow down and and soak them in, and it was worth it.
Oh I'm so glad @joleenwillis. It's always nice when your work touches someone. Thank you!
I love fog photos. It's one of my absolute favorite conditions to shoot in. It can make an otherwise normal scene magical.
Really like the second photo with the droopy trees. I bet it was still and silent.
It was very silent....fog does that doesn't it. Not sure why unless our minds go into fight or flight mode, sensing danger and we are on high alert. Boogey man cometh!
The fog definitely deadens sound waves! In really dense fog, the birds stop chirping, too, adding to the stillness.
Yes, it was quiet. Now that you mention it, no birds. And the fog was crazy dense.
Fog creates such an ethereal effect with photography!
Yes it does. Each shot is different - the sun was trying desperately to poke through but the fog won.
Ha, I didn't know Foggy Friday was a thing, haha. I just posted a foggy photo too, though yours is much thicker fog. Ha, and I just noticed both of ours have corn fields in them as well. Guess it's our twin day, ha. Nice photos!
Yup. Maybe it will become a thing....who knows with all the different challenges on Steemit now - it makes my head spin! Our fog was extremely thick that day.
Very true. There are so many popping up, but I guess that's good right?
It is. I have to choose wisely :)
