Usually between Haddington to Tranent you can see the coast,
you can see the Forth Bridges and Arthur’s Seat in the distance. However, today you couldn’t see
anything. The roads were covered in
fog. When I pulled into a lay-by and was
looking over the fields, I couldn’t help but think how eerie and, to be honest,
a little dull the landscape looked.
However, after sitting for a few minutes it seemed rather peaceful, no
distractions and just relaxing. Usually
I need some sunshine to help me relax but this weather had a similar effect
(minus the tan).
This photograph depicts the fields covered in fog and also
shows a contrast in the vibrancy of shades of green. It also shows that some things such as the weather
conditions remind you of other aspects. For instance, the smell of Dove always
reminds me of my Gran and when I look at this image I am reminded of the novel
Wuthering Heights. Although I was by a
busy main road shooting this, I could have been some isolated area overlooking
some vast manor. The road was a national
speed limit road and you have to think, what other things do you miss when you
are driving at speed?
