A Very Early Morning Photo Adventure In The Thick Fog

fog

by Michelle Sproule | My fog alarm went off early this morning so I had a fun (if chilly) photo adventure around the city trying to find some pretty in the grey from Strathcona and the DTES to Stanley Park and English Bay. One of my favourite things about this weather phenomenon is how – with a dash of suspended disbelief – it tends to temporarily remove once familiar points of reference. You can ask yourself questions like: Is this calm water without horizon the start of a vast ocean or a mere duck pond? Does this beach ever stop? Will this road have an end, and if not, where does it lead? Is that building 50 storeys high or just 3? Such fleeting mysteries are only ever revealed to the patient, so not to me. I much prefer to take the riddles home, every time.
