....on the way home today I pulled into a layby as the light was really unusual across the landscape. These open stretches of road are very popular with motorcyclists and every few minutes zoooOOOooomm one goes flying by and makes me jump out of my skin!!! LOL! ...so this one belongs in the photo - I like the contrast between the cyclist and the fading light and misty landscape! ps and no he is not on the wrong side of the road, you are! ;)

Amazing light and a good capture with the cyclist even if he does drive on the opposite side of the road than us yanks. Very nice landscape image.

The light is fantastic and contrasts well with the cyclist that I thought you may have called the picture, "Easy Lighter." LOL. Wonderful light to dark and composition.

I'm drooling. You turned the fog into a kind of filter - the colours in the landscape change subtly throughout the image until they fade into the soft gold of the distance. Just outstanding and - yes you guessed it. FAVE!

I think the cyclist is an artist looking for cows standing in the water. Cindy got the cows and you now have the cyclist. Small world isn't it. Great colors and agree with Nigel on fog/filter thing. Just so clear which is a Fogz trademark. Sounds like another oxymoron. Great photo Patti.

Ahh ..an artist's life in modern times.. at least you didn't inundate us with electrical lines, which I hear are soon to be replaced with electrical implulses sans wires..whoo hooo..forward with technology that improves our lives and aesthetic views..

In the meantime we do what we can with what we have and it's hard to believe that our images may someday be archaic...


Great shot Patti, and thanks for putting up with this comment.

very good as usual, mz fogz. I really like the lighting in this one, as too who drives on the wrong side of the road, depends on where are doesn't it? (I've driven on both) ;-)

A winner again here Patti, what a sight ! The soft golden light is wonderfull. Also the motor is a good addition to this image, the red brake light gives the image a bit more color.
