It had been a beautiful crisp, Autumn morning but, as we drove into Edinburgh around 10.00am there was a wall of fog or mist lying around the city. Most of this appeared to lie to the north where the Firth of Forth is but there was also plenty towards the east.
Later, in the afternoon, I noticed the mist creeping in towards us so I quickly got the camera and rushed to the top of our road which is at the west end of Ratho Village. Too late! The stuff had already arrived so I walked quickly round Tormain Woods almost just keeping in front of the approaching curtain. As I walked through the woods it was strange to notice that the mist had not encroached into the trees and, if you looked straight upwards, blue sky was still visible. Even a watery sun tried to compete with the gloom. It was like being in an oasis surrounded by uncertainty.
This video is for our friend, Karen Stremikis, who told me, once, that she has fond memories of walking in similar conditions along America's west coast. We get these conditions about 5 times a year, Karen. I hope this whets your appetite to see this in person and I'll try to arrange some more mist when you visit.
