Fog over bush

Another photograph exploiting the unusual atmospheric conditions we had this morning. Thick fog over a bush at Rumbalara Reserve at Gosford. I took this photograph from a considerable distance and managed to include a street light in the shot to highlight the perspective. The fog is so thick and curved in shape - it almost looks like a giant moon raising behind the hill.

By the way this photograph almost got me in trouble with our local police. I was passing a crossing when I have noticed the view and decided to turn around and take the photograph. I drove to the next intersection with enough space to do a U-turn. As I was about to return back to the road I have noticed a mobile RBT unit few hundred meters down the road. The police officers thought I turned around to avoid the breath test and clearly were ready to chase me. Realising what has happened I waited at the intersection for them to arrive and spare myself and them the trouble. I had 0 alcohol reading so it was not an issue. Funny how some coincidental situations may look from a side.

Bateau Bay in fog

We had a very foggy morning today. The fog was visible everywhere from the inland bush areas to the sea coast as seen here at Bateau Bay. The peninsula was wrapped in the thick raising for and lit by the warm sunrise light. Quite beautiful and inspiring.

Water Monitor MG_5600

We had a picnic today at Somersby Falls. This is a beautiful place and we always enjoy our time there. The bush walks there are fantastic and there is plenty to see or simply to relax. The ever daring bush turkeys are everywhere and seem to be bolder every visit. Today we had a surprise visitor - a large four to five foot long water monitor. I knew they are around but usually they are found much deeper in the bush and I have never seen one at the picnic area. The bush turkeys tried to scare it away as they consider the area their turf. They drove high up the tree - perfect position to take few photographs.

This morning I have taken a number of photos at a fence dividing the local football field and a farm. It was still very early in the morning and the sun only started to shine through the bush, which creates the eastern wall for both these properties. It was wet thus the warming air temperature created quite a bit of localised fog spreading gently through the meadows.

I have managed to capture the fog, and even the evaporation of water from the fence itself. A gem find was this, still wet, spider web. I invite you cordially to visit this mini gallery dedicated to a simple fence.
