Dense Fog

February 4

I am thankful for dense fog-sometimes. It is the rarity of the ocassion that makes it so special. I know I did fog in my blog already, but this fog was special and necessitates its own place on my Thankful For list. As well as being diffiicult to drive in, very thick fog can be difficult to photograph in because it obscures a lot of details. But that can be used to advantage to create a mood of isolation.

This photo was taken on the same day as the Interstate 12 photo (January 31) and the God photo (February 3). It was a very special day. I was wandering around Baton Rouge photographing when I decided to try to get some photos of the Oaks of Sherwood golf course. In order to get close to the golf course, I went onto the playground at the Christa McAuliffe Adult Learning Center, which is right next to hole #4 at the Oaks. That's where I captured these lonely trees in the fog.

dense fog

there were two trees

two of many there

oblivious to each other

with nary a care

but one day

a fog came along

it got thicker and thicker

so none could belong

it covered up everything

limiting any clear sight

but the two were close

so could see the other right

they clung to one another

so closely together

now they are inseparable

through all kinds of weather.
