A Foggy Start The beauty of a different light It’s rare, but when I wake to a morning that’s encapsulated in a dense fog, it is always camera worthy. The morning I took these images in Victoria Park, Southport, as the sun was trying its best to come through, the fog was reflecting the light and produced a wonderful soft, warm glow.

Having tasted the delicious grapes which were due to be picked the following day, […]
