Waiting for the fog.

Just give me some tall weeds growing in front of the sunset, and I am a happy gal :)

Especially when the sunset had the potential to be breathtaking and was a bit meh.
I went to the usual spot early enough to catch different stages of it, but the very heavy and dark cloud blew it. The sun hid behind it pretty fast, and the show was over. No crazy colours, no rays. Just a bit of gold on smudged clouds.

But when that happens, it is always good to use it as a background for some silhouettes. Since there were no other humans around, I used plants. Tall, dead autumn weeds.

Few of them had spiderwebs tangled in them.

And my imagination already saw how cool they would look with waterdrops. The mist that showed up later on probably did a good job on that, but I wasn't there to see it. Maybe if I went there early in the morning before it all evaporates...
I did not to do that though ;p

The sun almost gone. The horizon slowly turns black.
My favourite part of the day :)

But wait... there is more weeds!
I think its called Chenopodium album - a very common and edible weed that can be cooked like spinach. It grows everywhere.

I mentioned mist - you can already see here the start of it and how it slowly crawls into the fields.

It was already a quiet evening, but fog makes it all even calmer. No wind, no loud noises, just a soft cloud hanging, muting everything else.

And the later and darker it was getting, the more fog was crawling in.

Such a pity it didn't show up earlier and much thicker. I don't think I have ever shot fog before.

Nice one! Beautiful pictures :<)

Did you also have a day of heavy rain and loads of wind?
I walked barefoot in the grass of my garden, to ground myself a bit, around sunset.

I haven't been out much, the rest of the day because the weather was pretty extreme here, from the early morning onward.

These were shot last fall.
But yea, the weather is crazy now. Rain, sun, wind... all in one day. I like it :) Better than boiling hot summer.

Good afternoon dear friend @ewkaw
I love your technique to beautify a shot, although the background of the landscape looked charming, putting the herbs in front, you achieved a beautiful and unique postcard.
What beautiful photos, thank you very much for showing us these beautiful shots.
Have a beautiful night and a wonderful rest

Good evening, ewkaw!

What a great set of photographs...

It was already a quiet evening, but fog makes it all even calmer. No wind, no loud noises, just a soft cloud hanging, muting everything else

Inspiring... perfect!

I am more happy if weeds have spiderweb and possibly a baby spider tucked in. :D

No babies this time. Or I didn't notice as I was too busy shooting the weeds.

even though it's just wild grass and the sunset, but because you took a very beautiful photo, it becomes a truly amazing photographic art. I just realized that spider webs would also look very beautiful in photographic art

Here is one kind of photo I can participate in this time. Last winter we had very foggy landscapes in our village. We could almost not see the mountain there.

The Golden Hour shot made it so much more better. Each photo carries a special story about the spiders and the wild weeds in the vast grassland.
