Foggy morning on the canal

A foggy morning on the Warwick section of the Grand Union Canal.

A foggy morning on the Warwick section of the Grand Union Canal.

I post this without benefit of Photoshop or a decent RAW converter. It looks fairly raw without digital tweaks.

I wake early. The morning was covered in fog, something I thought happened often in England but have seen only once. Gear in hand, I rushed to the Grand Union Canal in Warwick. I shot a lot: Better photos will be posted once I’m back home.

Speaking of home, I feel like a man without a country. I’m a Canadian living in China, visiting the United Kingdom. Living in China can drive you to the brink of sanity. My wife aside, that is where I wish I was. The hustle, the bustle, my apartment, my bed. I look forward to fleeing China twice a year, but when I’m away I wish I was there. I don’t feel that way about Canada.

This music is apt, but not true. I have found what I’m looking for, I’m just not there at the moment. (I wish I could pick music as well as Captain Ron does.)

    I like the photo, as is. It’s how I would picture England if I’d never been there. I spent a summer living in England and don’t think I saw fog even once. How odd.

    Yes, Captain Ron is quite talented when it comes to picking musical selections to go with his photos. I wish I could pick as well as he does, too.

    fantastic shot stevo, makes me think of horror films for some reason, like GOOD horror films from decades past, am struggling to name the film or the moment this is reminding me of though…

    I like the photo.

    We had fog here too, this morning. I spent 15 min. on the bridge, shudders because it slowed traffic.

    I like it, too. Somehow, when my daughter spent three months in the UK, she never managed to catch a foggy day. I think she slept til noon every day!
