This Saturday, we got up early and headed out to Sterling Forest for a mist- and fog-filled hike. There was a light rain (it was, as the English would say, “spitting”), and by the end we got quite wet, but a forest in fog is a treat, silent and lovely and full of humid expectation.
Here, for example, is a clearing that looks like the entry to another world:
And the rocky top of a mountain that’s nearly swallowed up by mist:

Beautiful! Wish I lived close enough to such a great park – what a luxury to go on a hike somewhere that pretty within an hour or two from your house. Your fog pictures evoke memories.

Yes, it’s quite a privilege! Lovely counterpoint to a dense and hectic urban lifestyle.

Leah, beautiful photos! Fog and mist almost allow us to merge into another century. I can easily imagine someone from the 19th century or even the Lenape emerging from the forest.
On another note, it reminds me of the Blair Witch Project!
