RE: The Missing Freedom after the Lockdowns

They say you have to do something 30 times to form a habit. Probably over all the lockdowns we've had in the UK, there have been more than 30 instances where you would have gone out into nature, but were unable to because of the rules. It's no wonder that the last couple of years have had a lasting affect on how we view the things that, until last year, were just part of normal life.

I hope that you are getting your mojo back because these photos are lovely. The misty woodland is a particular favourite! :)

Thanks so much - yeah, I think there would have definitely been that many or more!

As ever - thanks for the encouragement too! All 3 of these images (although not specifically mentioned) have some connection to that struggle to get out. The woodland shot was taken on a trip to speak at a camera club and I made myself leave early to do some photography and make the most of the journey. Was glad I did as I found the only fog I've had all autumn!

I get the impression that we get more mist and fog down here than in the NW. Every time I pop up north to visit Mum, I scour the forecast for signs, but it's nearly always too breezy! I'm glad you got a foggy outing with your camera. :)

haha - yeah, I think I'd agree from the amount of gorgeous mistiness you capture!

This was a real fluke - it was taken in a car park on the highest point of the drive into the Peak District (Mam Nick on Rushup Edge). Low cloud was hugging the hills, and I knew there were trees next to the car park. Pulled in and had about 10 mins before the clouds lifted. That one was taken in a parking space getting funny looks from everyone who drove in!

(I've got three images in the last year taken right by the car... that might have to become a post of its own...!)

Ahh that's a good tip. When Up North, don't wait for misty conditions. Instead, head to high ground when there is low cloud forecast... :)

You should definitely do a post about car park photography!
