The Big Dam Bridge in a heavy fog on Friday night.
This was a slightly dangerous shot to get, there was a skunk about 20 feet away...
On a very cold day the fog took quite some time to dissipate. This was the first working that was clear and with the sun out.
LMS Stanier Mogul 2-6-0 13268 [42968] is seen approaching Kidderminster station on 13-12-25.
It is the return working of what had been the 11.05 departure from Kidderminster.

Geese take flight in dawn Central Valley tule fog
The sensory experience of arriving at a place like this is remarkable. To understand you need to consider how it begins — a wake-up call at 3:00 or 3:30, a very quick cup of coffee, gear tossed into my vehicle, and departure for a two-hour drive in darkness out into California's Great Central Valley. Most of the drive is on high-speed roads, at least until I get close to my destination, where I frequently encounter very thick winter tule fog — treacherous driving conditions that may force me to drop my speed to 20 mph or slower as I stare into the foggy darkness. Finally I arrive, pass through an entrance gate, and drive to a parking area and turn off the engine.
I open the door. The air is cold and damp. It is still and it would be silent... but for the wild calls of thousands of geese and cranes and other birds, often concealed behind the fog. In an instant I switch from my high-speed world cocooned in my heated vehicle to an entirely different world of fog, cold air, and the birds. Often I can't help by smile when I hear the wild calls of those birds, and sometimes I almost laugh out loud. On this morning the fog thinned just a bit when I arrived, and it was possible to make out flocks of geese rising from ponds not far away as the first color came to the morning sky.

The final in my collection of images of a foggy few days in Silverdale, Lancashire.
I used the Film Speck One's Eridanus preset which I recently downloaded. Highly recommend the collection from Lonely Speck.
