It’s been abnormally foggy up in Northern California but with rain headed this way I decided to get out and at least try to take photos before the rain arrives. I came up with a plan to visit a wildlife area about an hour and a half from where I live. I thought maybe that would be far enough to get away from the fog. However, I was wrong. Very wrong.
The fog had cleared up when I got through a mountain pass but I could tell in the distance that the valley I was headed to was already getting a fresh blanket. I had driven for over an hour at that point so I decided to trek on and just see what I was dealing with. Upon arriving I knew that photography was going to be a struggle in the foggy conditions but I thought that worst case scenario I would have an enjoyable walk. Which it was.
The fog was very thick and the lack of wildlife sounds was a bit ominous. One cool thing that I kept experiencing was hearing a strange gust of wind getting closer to me and then all of a sudden a flock of blackbirds would fly overhead. The sound that they made while flying towards me was very surreal since I couldn’t see them until the flock was about fifty feet away.
Luckily, I did spot a few Mule Deer through the fog at a couple of locations. I knew that these silhouette shots would at least make for some interesting Nature Content for you to enjoy.
