Even when I'm stuck downtown I have a hard time resisting a foggy morning! Luckily for me, I had to walk between buildings this morning and timed it to be out with the fog.
My walk didn't take me past any wooded areas (curses) so the canal was my next best option.
I've shot this view many times in the past, but always find it looks unique as the weather shifts, and I don't think I've shot a foggy autumn view yet.
For the keen eye, you may be able to figure out where I was standing to shoot Tuesday's photo from this angle!
Hope everyone has had a nice day.

Papa Great Egret arrives at the nest to give mama a break at the Smith Oaks rookery, High Island, Texas.
My archive dig this morning uncovered this abstract photographed in White Sands National Park. Just a small section of constantly shifting sand on a steep hillside.
Modelled quite unexpectedly by the super-cute Laura Leandros <3 Gotta love a girl who randomly inspires you!
A bell tower from former times. Too high for my GF 30mm shift lens to correct converging verticals totally. As the tower construction does not have straight pillars anyway, I think the remaining perspective is not disturbing.
It was a day of constantly shifting clouds. A prolonged period of sunshine was about to come upon us though :)
As a product of time, change is a constant and perpetual force. The shifting seasons mark this change on the Earth's timeline with each orbit around the sun.
Dunes have always fascinated me because of their textures and geometries, colours and contrasts. They are mobile, forming and reforming and it's just never the same when you get there. They are like waves in water, just much much slower. An then there is life, little grasses and little flowers or bones. Well, step back from the image and discover the track of a tinny creepy crawler. I find it amazing how it stands out.

Thanks everyone.
Dunes at East Strand today. Not surprising that roofs were being blown off buildings today in Portrush and most of the town was closed to traffic.
This American Tree Sparrow was a first-of-season sighting for me. In our area, typically they arrive in the autumn soon after their similar-looking cousins, the Chipping Sparrows, disappear on their southerly migration.
As I watched and photographed the sunset, I looked away and noticed the sand. I love the dimension and texture it adds.
First proper opportunity to get out and test drive my new tilt shift lens today, and am already a big fan. The shift funtion is unbelivably useful, and slowly getting used to the extra dimension the tilt can add. I probably went a bit overboard on tilt today, but I really like the way you can focus the eye on a virtual path through the image with it.
Taken with my Praktica FX 2 and some way expired Fuji Superia X-Tra 400...got some magenta color shift due to that.
