The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbour and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Beautifully observed. Almost a timeless feel to the image, and so finely composed. Mono suits the image well, simply wonderful, peaceful, relaxing

Lovely shot! If not for that SUV in the distance, one could think this photo was from the 1800's.

Beautiful capture! If it weren't for the cars it would look like it had been a hundred years ago. Wonderful mist enshrouding on this gorgeous image.

Crazy cool - Looks like an old photograph - and for those of us that dream in B&W just like a dream.

But for the car in the background, I would have thought that you had just traveled back in time. Great shot :)

The couple almost seem to come from another century. Lovely mood.

The fog suspends time, but isn't true that the walk of two beings which love each other is eternal?
I adore, and I have the impression that the two dogs tighten a trap at this man little accustomed to the rite ;)

Oh, yummy! The fog adds such mystery to this image, as does the woman's trench coat and hat. Love the leaves scattered on the ground too.

Beautifully moody. I wish they had a Photoshop filter for fog. (Do they?)

wow what a wonderful capture, the fog and monotone gives a nostalgic feel, so beautiful, and you always find wonderful sayings or poems to go with the shots

more than a fog shot - i mean the fog is great, but it'd be a good photo even without it

If Manet were here to take black and white shots, I think this would be his style! What a fantastic image. This is pure genius!

You manage to get great atmosphere in your images. In this woman the woman doesn't look contemporary.
