Giving the archival frogs a break. Hopefully there will some new froggy heads bobbing up in the ponds soon. But fog is good too and my favorite landscape condition.
Some days the valleys catch the light before the rest of the landscape and at sunrise it glows with the warm light.

The image that popped into my head upon reading that title was…concerning. My head translated ‘fog’ to ‘frog’ (Frog Friday, after all!). Glad to see that it was just a gorgeous fog-on-fire, rather than a terrifying ‘frog-on-fire’!

About the last thing I’d want to be thought. Oh boy. Frog flambeau would be awful. 🙂

Not exactly Horsetail Falls in Yosemite but the sun has to rise in just the right spot for the valley to be hit like this.

The painterly quality is obvious. It reminded me of some Hudson Valley artists. It’s interesting that British and American landscapes often seem to me to differ, even when the subjects are similar. I suspect the quality of the light — as in this photo — is the reason.
(ps: have you checked your email? I’m off to our equivalent of a high-class waffle house this morning!)

Thanks! I’ve mentioned often that any time one of my images is compared to a painting from the Hudson River artists I am, as some of my British friends would say, quite chuffed.I think the light is different in Europe from what we see here. So many images I see from Tuscany, say, have such a soft ethereal quality to them. That does happen here but not as often I think. Of course the landscapes in Europe and those here differ quite a bit.
I hope you enjoyed the waffles. I am not sure if my last email got to you where I pasted my original response.

It did, butthe waffles have been postponed until after this holiday weekend. We’re not going to an actual waffle house, but to a café and bakery in Galveston that really knows how to make a decent waffle — and they’re more than happy to accomodate people who are picky about their syrups.

Fog on Fire is a fitting title to describe the glory of a foggy sunrise. Great shot, Steve!

Thanks, Peter. Considering that your landscapes and many others in the west were harmed by fire I thought twice about the title but decided to go with it.

I absolutely love these scenes when fog or mist seem lit on fire. I recall seeing some photos of Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico where the morning mist was on fire. I went to my first year of college right near there but unfortunately didn’t have a DSLR at the time, and we only drove through the refuge once so I never saw the fire mist in person.

That’s too bad you didn’t have a camera at the time but mostly we are out in nature for the experience and that one obviously left a lasting impression for you. I don’t see this very often here so it was certainly a treat.
