A Day of Fog

This morning, banks of fog descended on Adair County. Many students found the fog creepy, suggestive of stranglers and dementors. I thought it looked kind of cool.

Thousand Hills State Park looked like it was in another country today.


A more northern, bracingly cold country with heather and fens and firths.




I was keeping an eye out for Nessie. No luck today, though.




The sun started to break through as the day went on, but the light was still strange, making the lake look like the coast of the North Sea.



And then, as if that wasn't enough of a treat, even heavier banks of fog rolled in tonight. My camera was not really up to the task.

The Quad, and some Christmas lights. That figure to the right is a statue of Baldwin, Truman's first president. Okay, so maybe the fog is a little creepy after all.
