Stunning. Have you done much to the image or was it really like that? Not been in fog like that but I recall a scene in the Highlands where the sun broke through swirling rain clouds and any photo that accurately recorded that moment would be judged fake, so I know that exceptional light is a thing.

That was edited from the RAW. This is the JPEG straight from camera

And this was from just before (converted RAW but not edited), so yes, other than some adjustments the fog did look like that.

It's one thing to be in the right place at the right time, but it's quite another to make the most of it as you have. <Chefskiss.gif>

Since it's Easter weekend coming up, a few of you will probably be occupied doing other things - so - I'm closing this off tomorrow lunchtime (Friday) and will pick a winner.
The only nod to Easter here are Easter eggs! Ha! Heathen lot, us.

Um, Friday's daily theme is crosses and Sunday's is tomb, empty or not up to you.  I did try to bring the joys of the season to the forum.

I promised so I'm now delivering my verdict.

I said earlier this was difficult and I meant it. There might not have been pages of entries, but what there is/was, gave me glimpses of what you saw and I'm grateful.

Ones that caught my eye were
Petterob's Short eared owl which was a real find in all that camouflage;
Keith's The other platform (which left me wondering if it was actually a window or a mirror - an ever changing glimpse of another place, and his Lizard - a real glimpse and fleeting too;
I loved Zou's Phone box. I guess a bit of a 'me too' shot but a sneaky glimpse into that place that most everyone else would just walk past and never notice;
Jack's Naught cheeky shots had me smiling and remembering that early poster of the tennis young lady which was way before most of your time;
Nige came through, as always, with his wonderful Life on the Ganges (had me laughing aloud), his Man in the doorway and his Through the fog shots;
Dans's shot of the murmuration was a glimpse into their mysterious behaviour - something I hoped to see with my starlings at my old home, where I had definitely going on for a hundred - but not enough when they flew together to be a murmuration.
Kath's Cardross station is a gorgeous mysterious view and very much to my taste - BUT
there has to be a winner,

Contrary to what you might think, I keep getting drawn back to Nige's Man in the Doorway, which had me looking at it large and realising that what was in the shot was not only that we glimpse the man, but he glimpsed you too.

So sorry dreampolice (Nige) pick up the baton and run.

Oh *%$* I've done the April theme today too and now I've got to think of another one!

Thanks anyway, lol

It was a good theme Kate, thank you for the mention. Worthy choice of winner - well done Nigel!

Thank you Kate for a lovely theme - I really enjoyed seeing everyone's glimpses and fragments! And well done Nigel!

A good call Kate and well done Nige, a great pic.


The Paris metro shot is an opening on to the next line and platform, it reminded me of a devise of film making, did the voyeur witness a murder or was it something else?

It has lost the exif but IIRC it was shot on a Nokia N95, the first phone I had that could take a usable picture.

When I said Here - I meant up here on my part of the Islands - not the forum.
