Not Great Britain but The Orchards G.C. in South Hadley on a foggy morning.
From a ride to work last year…iPhone through the car window.

This seems spooky. It would have been good for Halloween.

That’s what I thought as soon as I saw it – and I wonder what might be lurking in that fog……

Very nice! I like the “moody” look of the image Steve! Also the leaning main tree!

It would have. Maybe next year or a different one if I have a chance to make a similar image.

Thank you, Alessandra! My processing gave it a bit of spookiness that wasn’t there on the morning i made the image. I don’t think it was intentionally spooky aside from my processing for mood.

Someone who knows more about golf than I do could certainly do something with this: a poem or short story titled “The Ghostly Golfer,” perhaps. I have to know — were you stopped? I can’t imagine this was taken while traveling, although I don’t know enough about the capabilities of the iphone to even know if that would be possible.

Maybe it might be called “The Orchards and the Headless Golfer”. Yes, I had stopped on my way to work. I’ve made a few images here in the past so knew this was possible. I have never shot while driving. I don’t think the iPhone could capture something sharp while moving aside from lifting a still from one of its videos.

Full of atmosphere. The tree looks a little scared!

Maybe camera shy? I love foggy landscapes and try to take advantage of them even if just a short time on the way to work.

I’m currently reading (and rereading) all the Sherlock Holmes stories and this perfectly fits my view of scenes in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I think the fog was much thicker in the Holmes tale but this did make me think of that right away. Thanks, Todd!

The blurred edges are very effective, reminding me of a lensbaby. The whole image is effective!

I’ve thought about a Lensbaby but just can’t bring myself to go that route. Too much a realist, I guess. Thanks!

SOmeon – a blogging friend actually – gave me one to play with and I enjoyed it but also found it frustrating. Ultimately I am also too attached to things as they are to really get into it.

Yes, I tend to the literal rather than the abstract although I do venture there once in a while.

Oh wow … such spooky vibes you have captured in this photo, Steve. The way you have the dark skeletal tree looming big in the foreground, with the mist enshrouding the landscape in the back ground, this is a prize winner for me!

Thanks so much, Pete. The scene just seemed spooky in the way Doyle wrote the mystery and the movie depicted it.
