Well, Michael, that's very derivative of Frank Sinatra and London...

A nice one!

A... nother nice one.
Michael is on a great moment.
What I like is that instead of applying an auto contrast or similar,
He kept the idea of the fog.
He tells stories. That is what is all about IMO.

Damn! I'd wanted to be first. Excellent shot.

Impossible: we're an hour ahead of you in Spain! As for those guys in the States, they're still fast asleep, which accounts for a lot of the funny things that get said now and again...

Fred, you have not been paying attention; Michael has been going through a very dark, green and sombre period. This fog is his way of lightening up.
Give him time - how would you feel if you were contemplating spending summer on your boat on the lakes with all those mosquitoes for company? You metropolitan cats in Madrid don't know how lucky you are - the worst you get is tourists!

A very nice one (and not just because it doesn't include any tourists.)

No tourists Rob, true. Unless the Prado decide to lauch another selling serie for the buses. But this year we will have mosquitoes, for the first time. It has been damn humid these months, anormally humid and cold for Madrid.
Anyway, I might go at one point to "la Rochelle", more exactly to the Oleron island, and there I'll be surrownded by tourists.
Rob, soon you will have these wonderfull "calas" just for you and the locals with cristal clear warm water, when here we will be on the rush again in the traffic jams.

who the he!! is frank sinatra?
seriously though, I like to believe I have an affinity for fog.
there's a special ambiance to fog that changes as completely as colors in the sun.
I think I've seen every kind of fog,
all the way from a light ground fog you can only see at a distance, to thick tule fog that was a danger to life itself.
I simply have started fawning over the images you're making now Mr. Reichman.
These from Olympic have me floored.

For the urban fog seekers, not only London but think also Paris.
The best months to plan a trip to Paris if you want special mysterious light,
is january, february.
Very early in the morning arrownd the Seine river you will get good conditions.

To be totally honest, I wonder if London gets any fog anymore. We used to get some hellish stuff in Glasgow - I can remember wheeling the bike because I couldn't see the road, and as I got older I can remember driving home by following the tramlines - a cool sense of navigation that depended on intimate memory of where the branches were. Had that been today, I wouldn't even remember where I was supposed to be going, never mind where the trams might choose to venture.
But, I suspect it wasn't really fog, but smog, the product of the coal age. How we lived. If we lived.
