Wordless Wednesday: Fog on the BRPKY
In March 2011, we ventured a day trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We got on the parkway in the Boone, North Carolina area and travelled south. Like so many times over the years, this occasion was no different. A shroud of dense fog on the parkway offered limited views of the mountains while we drove but the ambiance is nothing short of a peaceful and a little eerie. The parkway isn’t heavily traveled usually when the weather is like this but we rather enjoy it.

Right now, I can’t pinpoint where I took this picture. I seem to remember that there is a hiking trail nearby and there is a rather large graveled parking area that we pulled into. I loved the awesomeness of the fog in the background, as it crept slowly over the trees.
Wordless Wednesday offers a chance for me to play around with my photos and share the results. The fog along adds an artsy feel in itself to the above image, but when I dabble with some special effects and the mood changes in the picture.

The aura along the Blue Ridge Parkway with the rolling fog has mysterious and sometimes haunting feelings. If you’re a writer, an artist, or a photographer then you can expect to be inspired after driving in these conditions.

I really wanted to take a photo of fog, but I had to renew my license at the DMV and it was not the best area to leave my camera in the car, nor flaunt it with me inside. Really like your b & w fog shot.

Beautiful photos… I need to learn my camera. I know it can do a lot of things I just have to read the book. Yeah, right. I changed your button 🙂 Have a great evening.
Claudia Willison
I love fog. And the moody pictures it produces. And now I am off to change your button to those cute kitties – are they yours, Cathy?
Cathy Kennedy
Claudia, thank you for switching my WW button. No, these cute little kitties are not mine. I used my buddy, Google Images, to find this image. I typed, “Shhh” in the search bar and came back with several possibilities, but this one seemed to a perfect match for what I wanted. 🙂

so peaceful, dreamy…but with a little dose of the eerie too. Love the second one!
we keep getting this ice fog here on warmer days. It’s a very different feel in the winter, but I have not got a shot of it yet.
