A foggy, rainy day on the New Jersey Turnpike.

I had a cousin who was an optician. He offered me an after-school job at his shop. He told me he’d teach me how to work the lens-grinding machine but to be careful lest I fall in and make a spectacle of myself.

Foggy Water Tower Morning

Manhattan from the Turnpike

Brief visit to NYC and New Jersey, providing a foggy, cross-wired view of Manhattan from the NJ Turnpike.

Headed Home

Our final day (3 April) we went to the visitor centre and the Lindisfarne Priory museum, then took a taxi back to Berwick-upon-Tweed to catch the train. It was a blustery, windy day.

Foggy Morning Breakfast

Sitting at breakfast in the hotel that morning we looked out on a foggy scene. Then went out and took pictures (below) before the fog had cleared. Click on any of them to see larger.

Mud Flats

Lindisfarne – Holy Island can only be reached at low tide when the causeway emerges from the North Sea, surrounded by wet sand and mud. It was a cold, windy, rainy day as we trekked the 6+ miles. (Click the images below o enlarge them.)

Fog Pond

When I take the train to London, before even getting to Alderhsot, I always see beautiful bodies of water out the train window. Some weeks ago I resolved to go find them and photograph them. Of course, the train is elevated at this point, so I wasn’t sure I’d get the same view, and I wondered if I could get passed the obscuring treeline. Looking on the map, I found the Badshot Lea Big Pond was a walk of only a little over a couple of miles so we set off on the firs nice day. Unfortunately, when we got there, we discovered it was a private fishing club with no admittance and no real view through the shrubbery. Then, about a week later, a train ride to London on a foggy morning, at low speed, presented another opportunity (click the images below to see them larger).

Foggy Morning

Deep fog a couple of weeks ago – continued even as I took the train in to London later that morning (see images below).

Down by Lyme Regis

After dinner we explored the beach and seashore. Click any image to see them all enlarged to full size.

Driving South

Next we took a combination of A3x roads towards our destination of Lyme Regis and I managed a few snaps out the window as we went (I wasn’t the one driving). As we grew closer to Lyme Regis we passed through thick fog, or maybe a cloud.

Here’s another image taken some months ago from my window with the longer zoom (see last post). This one was not converted to Acros in post; these are the colors out of the camera.
