Yes, it is real. It was an unbelievable sight that morning. I was standing in the middle of a clear cut and this fog came in for about 20 minutes and left again. Thank you for commenting on "Vector":)
Gaujo,
Thaks for visiting my"Solitude Revised ". You are wrong about the retouching. The only rework hat was done was to remove a sign posted on one of the trees.Unless you have ever been to the southwest and seen the "Magical lighting" that we have here, you will never understand the beauty of this lighting.

Photography is not a trade - it is an art. It is more that an art.
It is a solar phenomenon,
where the artist collaborates with the sun.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie,
lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal,
steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink...
drink in the moments
that take your breath away.
Hello. 'Cliffs of Etretat' was taken with an argentic camera and scanned for the upload. That's why it's grainy. I was unhappy with that old scanner.....
Thanks for all your comments on koringkriek! He is about the size of your thumb (4cm - 5cm). They are harmless, but they are known to eat their own kind if there are not enough plants to eat. They are part of the grasshopper family and can be quite a pest as there can be millions of them at one time. The roads get full of them as they come and feast on the ones that got ran over. They can't fly either. No wings like the grasshopper.
Hi Jarris...welcome to caedes and thank you for taking a moment to comment on An Air of Mystery...glad it caught your eye and that despite the graininess you enjoyed the image.:Pat.
Thanks for the comments on Ginza! It is one shot with a Sigma lens that I bought in Tokyo. Good reccomendation on cleaning up the halo. I wanted to post it as is to show the raw image...no massive computer image manipulation as is seen often here. The true art, get the shot clean and let it be judged on its photographic merits. Anyone with a little training can manipulate an image.
