For today, the fog still blankets me, Astrid, but I do know the sun will come out "tomorrow." In the meantime, I will enjoy the fullness of this scene, from earth to heaven. It opens up my lungs. It lets me breathe again. Thank you.

Picturit: I know Ginnie, but the sun will be out en ik heb het graag gedaan, my brother 'saw' this one already full seize printed....and he knows the stuff , I might give it a try some day
Astrid.

great capture.not much hope of the sun coming out i would think

Picturit: Weather can change so easily in Holland and but on days like this, the sun is not making overtime here, thank you for you kind words and visiting!
Astrid.

Very nicely framed, Astrid!

Picturit: Thanks Martin, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.

Lovely photo Astrid, love those majestic trees.

Picturit: Those trees are giants, I hardly can wait, in a few weeks new leafes will be on...
Astrid.

Nice foggy series. Congratulations for your good eyes. Yes good eye is more important than good camera!

Picturit: Amen to that and so true, thank you for your kind words,
Astrid.

Those trees in the distance faint and tiny are an assurance that the sun will be out.

Picturit: Kathryn, you are so right here and most of the time I am seeing things the positive way....yes, I have no doubts, the sun will come out....
Astrid

Is that Vlad the Impaler (aka Dracula) gliding through the mist and the tree towards me...I feel sweat running down my spine despite the chill air that frosts my breath the moment it leaves my body...

Picturit: Ray.....Vlad just went back in his coffin, it is after 6A, tiny sunbeams are getting through the clouds.....so you can relax now and enjoy your day!!!!....but watch out tonight though......
Astrid.

Another beautiful image, Astrid.

Picturit: Thanks Kay, the sun almost comes through, I have one more to go and by Friday the sun is out again
Astrid

Super shot, The silhouette is fab well done

Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.

This is a very fine capture Astrid: and soon I'm sure the sun will shine

Picturit: Chris, my motto is, always try to see the sun shine in things, but than I love some fogy days too have a nice day.
Astrid.

What a beautiful silhouette. I posted a silhouette shot as well today, but when I compare it to yours, I can see where mine falls short. I love the amount of detail that exists in the silhouette, and depth of the shot.

Picturit: Jewlya, your words mean a lot to me, but I will take a look at yours...thanks for the compliment, most apprecated.
Astrid.

Gives a sense of reflection, appropriate for the season.

Picturit: Yes it does and believe it or not the sun is out this same minute, so spring is in the air and we are ready for the season to change.
Astrid.

Nods and smiles. richard

Picturit: Thanks Richard, I am pleased by them.
Astrid.

Is this a long shot of your picture of the 18th? It's another good one anyway.

Picturit: No, this is the first I took and than I saw the lady and wanted to have some 'close-up' from her, but she walked away, I had to be fast to get that picture you are refering to.
Astrid.

What a wonderful series of truly atmospheric shots. They remind us of the beauty to be found, even on the greyest of days. I find them wonderfully contemplative. (:o)

Picturit: Thank you Roz for your kind words, indeed these are my first attemps of taking pictures in the fog, I must say I love the fog more than I already did....even in this kind of weather, it is possible to come up with some good pictures.
Astrid.

A special picture and with a figure down the lane. With your title I have been thinking about Ginnie and her current circumstances.

Great composition as well.

Picturit: Louis, I was thinking of Ginnie too, I keep saying, pictures can say sometimes more than words ever will, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.

De silhouetten van de hoge bomen, alleen of dicht bij elkaar staande, (zoals in ons leven) vind ik erg mooi en ook de piepkleine mens in de achtergrond! Alle je mist- foto's waren zeer indrukwekkend, want nevel en mist maken altijd nieuwe ervaringen en ontdekkingen mogelijk en ik heb de zon niet gemist, maar vandaaag de zon is al gekomen en laten we zien wat er nog komt! Een prettig dag allen toegewenst!

Picturit: Philine, ontzettend bedankt voor deze mooie woorden, vandaag heeft hier de hele dag de zon geschenen, een strak blauwe lucht, nee, geen foto's gemaakt , maar je hebt gelijk, toen ik deze foto's in de mist heb gemaakt was de hele natuur in evenwicht, alle klopte, het mysterieuze, de waterdruppels, het wazige, de rust, de stilte en de algehele gevoel van geborgenheid, mist vind ik iets magisch hebben, ik heb met heel veel ongeduld naar deze dag uitgekeken, NU kon ik het eens proberen wat ik wilde en ik hoef je niet te vertellen wat voor glimlach ik op mijn gezicht had toen ik het resultaat zag, ja, ik kom daar eerlijk voor uit dat ik trots ben op het resultaat EN dat ik er andere mensen blij mee heb kunnen maken.
Philine ik heb een heerlijke dag gehad.
Astrid.

The lone person in the distance is fantastic Astrid.
The sun will come out for us all in the end. Some need it more than others.
Lovely mysterious shot. Well done mijn vriend

Picturit: Tracy, the sun was out here all day, blue sky, I loved it..and others will get their sun some day, I know....with some help....
Thanks for your kind words, mijn vriend
Astrid.

You are going from strength to strength - this is fabulous! The tiny, tiny figure of the person does it for me - puts it all into perspective.
Ingrid

Picturit: Ingrid, this was my first picture of that day, that indeed is the lady walking the dog, she was not there when I put my camera/tripod ready...she just rounded a corner, I just had to move fast for my second picture, the one of the 18th. I almost 'lost' her in the fog....
Thank you for your compliment, I really appreciate it coming from you!
Astrid

This is wonderful Astrid. The branches are so delicate and that person in the middle of the path is a real bonus here! Well done

Picturit: I was just lucky she rounde the corner and there she was......my 'angel'
thanks Richard for your kind words.
Astrid.

We are having another snowstorm today. It gets tiring. My son is in Boston so I will have to call in a nephew to shovel. Very pretty photo!

Picturit: Mary, I gladly had send some of our sun to you, I hope they could help you...
Sterkte...
Astrid.

So peaceful, beautiful

Picturit: Thanks Chantal, it was magic out there,
Astrid.

It almost seems as if every shot you took on that foggy day came out perfect! I really like this one, it feels almost mysterious!

Great shot Astrid!

Picturit: Kempah, this was even my first try, I never had been doing 'fog' pictures, I only bought my camera in Mai, but I love every minute of it.
Thank you for your kind words.

This is an outstanding black and white image Astrid. You have composed it exquisitely. It has such depth and like Ingrid, that tiny figure and where you have placed it within the frame does it for me. Perfect.

Picturit: Pixelpixie, your words mean a lot to me, thank you for your compliment.
Astrid.

Is there a tiny person standing in the distance?
I think there is
Beautiful misty picture

Picturit: Yes Magnus, she just rounded the corner when I was preparing the shot...she was my 'angel' that day
Astrid.

awe,full of awe!
great take

Picturit: Thanks Abebanii and thanks for visiting
Astrid

Wonderful again.

Picturit: Thanks Steve, glad you like it.
Astrid.

You did it again. A fabulous composition. I'm in awe.

Picturit: I am really pleased you like it, the fog is magic and the lady in the far end a real gift.
Astrid.

Another lovely foggy scene Astrid - I didn't notice the person until I read some of the comments.

Picturit: She was there, just rounded the corner.
Astrid.

Ooo, I love silhouettes. Very moody shot. Nice. Do I see the figure of a person? (very tiny)

Picturit: Yes the lady walking the dog, she just rounded the corner.
Astrid.

Like this one a lot, very striking, especially the tiny figure dwarfed by the trees. Reminds me of a couple of days I had in the Hague and Schwenningen - the fog didn't lift for a minute ;o)

Picturit: Mike, this fog stayed in for the whole day, just as intense as it shows here, I hope you liked The Hague and Scheveningen, those are lovely places... thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.

Again a beautiful shot. Well done!

Picturit: Thanks Wim, I was lucky with the fog.
Astrid

Like this one Astrid at first glance and then suddenly, in the mist, a small figure in just the right place. Well done.

Picturit: Thanks a lot Brian, yes the tiny figure was my gift for that day...
Astrid.

absolutely wonderful... possibly the best i've seen today...

Picturit: Sam, thank you so much for your compliment, most appreciated!!
Astrid.

Great silhouette. Nicely done Astrid

Picturit: Thanks Kunle, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.

Wow Astrid. I love this shot. Great framing that leases the viewer with hope for sunshine. Nice work.

Picturit: Affi, the sun came out next day but I was so happy with the foggy day
thank you for visiting!
Astrid.

Very dramatic shot, like the silhouettes and the mist. Creates a definite mood to it, very well done.

Picturit: John, thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like it.
Astrid.

moodytastic young lady, that's a super shot. mal

Picturit: Mal, you made my day with this so great compliment, this was in fact my first picture of that day, my first ever taken in the fog....thanks.
Astrid.

Great mono Astrid, fantasic atmosphere. And those trees are simply beautiful...

Picturit: Those trees are just so huge and majestic, all year round..thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.

Your recent pictures have been fabulous, Astrid. The shades of grey and dark of the trees works so well and I love the deatils of the trees against the sky. What else really adds interest is that little figure in the distance. First class.

Picturit: Chad, I am very pleased with your compliment, it was my pleasure to share my pictures with you, I never thought I could 'do' pictures in the fog, I proved myself wrong...
Astrid.

magnifica en todos los conceptos

Picturit: Thank you so much for your complimeent and thanks for visiting.
Gracias tanto por su complimeent y gracias por visitar.
Astrid.

This makes me wish we had a foggy day so I could experiment.

Another beauty Astrid, pure detail too.

Picturit: Ellie, you would love it, I am sure about that, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.

Beautiful...again, Astrid. Wonderful framing.

Picturit: Thank you bridge, I am glad with your kind words.
Astrid

This series is just gorgeous, I'm lapping it up

Picturit: Thanks Nigal, nice you like them..have a nice day!!
Astrid

Gorgeous! Just gorgeous!

Picturit: WOW, I am glad you like this one, this was the first I took that day.
Astrid.

Echt een mooie serie ben je hier aan het neerzetten! Heel erg sterk weer deze foto, de tonen en het contrast is gewoon erg sterk!

Picturit: Robbie, bedankt voor je reactie, ik heb gewoon geluk gehad met de mist en dat ik mijn camera een beetje begin te kennen en ik vind het geweldig leuk om door de natuur te struinen.
Astrid.

nice composition. the big trees and the small silhouette give a very good contrast.

Picturit: Thanks Roxan, glad you like it
Astrid

Great atmosphere in this one Astrid ! Fog makes everything so strange !

Picturit: Yes it does, for me it was amazing, I never thought I was able to capture it that well, Astrid

Very nicely done. Love the silhouetted figure in the distance.
