So do I have a soft spot for fog, it adds and air of mystery that is normally not present in other images. I like your images very much and yes I think they are artistically achieved. Well done. And my personal hypothesis is that images which have a touch of mystery or which require some interpretation by the viewer are inherently more interesting and engaging. Fog helps.

Good one. I love reflections in wet pavements etc. But somehow I never think to do them myself - probably because I am too soft to go out in rain.

Oh yes this is great too. Lynn. Love those reflections and the sense of movement

thanks Peter. I find a large umbrella and an autofocus or scale focus camera best on wet days.
