Abbot Hall Tower Illuminated in the Fog

On Monday, May 6th, I arrived home and noted that fog was starting to roll in.  I decided to grab the kids and my camera and head out in hopes of capturing the unique beauty of foggy scenes.  We started off on Parker Lane – me with my camera, they with an old dSLR.  The fog would thicken to the point of hiding the distant mainland and the sun at times and then quickly dissipate revealing the shores again.
