Our last full day in Northumberland today :( . We visited Belsay; the castle, hall and gardens. It was really foggy which made the gardens very atmospheric. We were put in mind of a Tim Burton film set, and I was interested to read in Paul Murphy's Belsay thread that DK said that gardens were a bit like a film set 8). I could have spent many more hours wandering around with the camera, but a 2 year old's patience will only stretch so far :D . When the gardens are in full bloom it must be amazing.

Lovely sset Birma,

The second and the third is especially nice. I like that passage and the misty trail in the second shot while the b&w misty forest with frail branches is very atmospheric.

The trip worked out great for you. :D

Those are good ones Birma, the WB must have been a bit of a challenge, and I agree, that archway photo is special.

I was recently reading a piece on 'chemtrails' which was basicaly asking what the hell are they? Any aircraft engine produces warm air which leaves a vapour trail in the colder upper atmosphere. Typically they last from 10 minutes to an hour depending on prevailing conditions. But these days you are quite likely to see trails that hang around for hours and don't so much evaporate as spread out thinning to a haze as they do.

Thanks to Winston, Doc, Yildiz and Greg :). I think this was my first time taking pictures in the fog but I really enjoyed it. I will now be heading to the woods on the next foggy day we get.

Greg, I'm embarrassed to say the WB was down to the A700 and not me. It was set to auto and when I opened the raw files it looked right and so I left it.
