Autumn Mist

It was -6C during the night and when the morning sun hit the water a gorgeous mist/fog developed. Unfortunately, what a still photograph doesn't capture is the wonderful movement of the mist in playful swirls in the warm bands of morning light. Perhaps a physicist or meteorologist can explain the blue light ... I can't explain it but it was there nonetheless. Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada

*************************************************************

 

Tendrils of fog boil about a pine branch,

As if grasping for a stolen moment from the summer before,

The blue light the last gasp of a season past.

It's warmth faded into a mist that twists and curls

About a lakefront as if writhing in some exquisite dance of

Mourning over the advent of a winter that will mask the colours

Of a brilliant fall. (C.Hill)
