Spanish Banks

a pleasant surprise as the sun shone yesterday, although the sky was plain blue...luckily a bank of advection fog made the atmosphere a bit livelier

The layers in this are marvelous. V

Yes, great weather yesterday! I think I saw that same vessel at sunset close to Canada on the Strait (took a shot, but erased it as it was too far off...)

Interesting fog bank while the rest is cristal clear! V

The meeting of the two boats works really well. Terrific backdrop too. V.

Really cool shot! The sailboat looks like a toy here BVV~

A wonderful layered capture enhanced by the terrific lighting. The sailboat really provides a wonderful sense of scale. VV

There is a tension here that is so intriguing!
This, for me is quite a special photograph!

Well captured.

The fog forms a gentle horizontal band, blurring the distance just enough to awaken the imagination and give the photograph a distinctly mystical mood.....V

That fog adds a bit of mystery to the scene.

A fine shot including two very different watercraft.

Love how the fog makes a backdrop for the ship and how the mountains rise above it.

I like the band of fog it gives a mystical look…how lovely to have blue sky…been well over a week since our sky has been blue David…BV

Don't knock "plain" blue skies, though the fog does indeed enliven this image. I wouldn't mind some blue sky here as we are deep into a monsoonal spell.

Great lighting and scene. Love seeing the sailboat in there to give me an idea of the size of the ship.
Helen Betts18-Jan-2026 18:48
That low fog really makes for a special capture.
