Island mist
In early February, the coast was struck by a dense curtain of sea fog that retained its grip for several days. The phenomenon occurs when a front of warm, southern air, meets a cold, wintery sea. At its most dense, the conditions do not leave much opportunity to capture images; it’s simply white all around you, and it is difficult to tell front from back. Frequently, however, the fog yields some of its cover over the course of the day.
It is these brief openings in the mist that provide for some eerie, or ethereal, views, depending on your disposition. Standing out on the seawall, the sky and the horizon seem to coalesce into a single, bright, continuum. On the beach, people start to venture out further into the banks of fog, slowly being engulfed in the process. The dissolving boundaries between ‘here’ and ‘there’, are much like an existential crossroad; either losing your path or finding your way.
