I decided to set aside a day on the long weekend to take photos on the topic of line for an assignment and to take a closer look at the lake ...maybe walk around around it. I asked God to help me take some good photos.
The morning of the long weekend arrived and I woke up late. As I was having breakfast I noticed the fog outside and suddenly remembered that the previous winter I had wanted to take a photo of trees on a foggy morning but because I work, I couldn’t spare the time to do so. This was the first foggy morning I had seen this year..... and on the very day I had set aside for taking photos…..and… the fog was still there at 9.30!!
As I set off in the car the song “How lovely are Thy dwelling places” came into my mind and my hopes were high…..but the fog had lifted from where I thought I would get some good shots, so I decided to go on to the lake. The closer I got to the lake the more fog there was. I parked the car and headed towards the water......... there was a cross silhouetted against the white of the fog. It was stunningly beautiful. A man walked past and commented on how cold it was. I replied “but very pretty”. The directional lines lead to the cross which is formed by two contrasting lines (a flag pole) that make a statement that would not have been so poignant if the fog hadn’t minimized the background noise.
