A foggy morning in Ganges Harbour. I love changes in weather; it’s as though mother nature has given her etch-a-sketch a good shake so we can look at a familiar scene in a new light.

The light here of course is what caught my eye. I’m on the look-out these for views that have a variety of luminance values rather than a variety of colours. Normally, dense fog has a flat grey monochromatic look (which can be beautiful in its own right). The sodium vapour lamps on the dock gave a contrasty, but somewhat ugly yellow colour.

The high contract of the foreground with the low contrast background make for a lovely black and white image.
