Out fairly early this morning, mists coming and going, and a hammock moon high in the sky. It wasn’t quite level, as I’d have to be nearer the equator for that. It was like a disembodied smile, which was a little disturbing, as smiles really need faces. The lights on the A628 shone through a slot in the mist. Up near the old quarry near Rhodeswood, the mist looked like a sea, with headlands poking into it and the isles of Mouselow and Werneth Low. As I neared the quarry, the sun was starting to warm things up, and an inconsistent breeze started. Coming back down, I could see that sudden upcurrents were plucking skeins of mist high into the air, where they dissipated. As the breeze came, I was hoping to see some Kelvin-Helmholtz waves, although it was a bit too chaotic for anything to be very clear – there were one or two formations that looked a bit like breaking waves. In threequarters of an hour, the mist had gone and it was beautifully sunny. Soon after that, the rain came.
PS just trying out the gallery option in WordPress. It appears you have to right click on an image and choose ‘open in new tab’ if you want to see it individually…
