Yes Jeanne, I knew exactly what I wanted.
The problem was that eyes are commanded by the brain, while cameras have no brain.
So my Canon didn't register what I "saw", but gave me the real situation, a frame almost completely grey!
A long work of post processing, to reproduce my "real" experience :-)
Take good care Giannina

To see this image once again, is to truly linger and gaze upon the veiled light, the forceful center subject and to finally embrace it's smoldering energy. i suspect that you knew exactly what you wanted when you shot this, Adal.....exactly1

Wonderful.I love this picture! This light fog which allows to see the outlines like a poem. In combination with the red ones I would call it "the extinguished hell" I have printed out the Night Song an will read it quietly.
you know I am a fan of your pictures.

Wow...so powerful. Amazing morning mist, I must get up earlier and don't waste my mornings lying in bed. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Ana Carloto O'Shea12-Nov-2006 22:39
This is why I hate to sleep...
How much do we miss in such mysterious foggy mornings?
How much do we miss in the long shadows of the night's late hours?
Why can't our bodies function without sleeping? What a waste this is, as you photo proves so well ;)

Reminds me of the smog London suffered in the fifties.
Moody capture.

The birds are like the tips of fingers - the fountain like a hand that seems to be offering something up to the goddess of fog.

C'est très beau, le dégradé subtil vers le fond, favorisé par la brume. Pictural.
Guest 11-Nov-2006 22:52
Strong silhouettes in the foreground, and subtle shading in the background.
Strange and very magical!
Kal Khogali11-Nov-2006 14:49
Amazing because at first I thought toned B&W...but now I see it is colour...still...very still. K

It feels like this one should be about 7 in the morning, the fog dappling the awakening world. I'd wander around letting it impregnate my clothes, filling my nostrils and listen to life stirring in the apartments as the day begins.
Barbara Heide10-Nov-2006 22:12
oh, Adal, this is so beautiful! the misty mood so terribly romantic...
