As I stood and watched the mists slowly rising this morning, I wondered what view was more beautiful that this – Hal Borland

We are back at our Italian home, in Gabiano and enjoying some wonderful October weather. The surrounding hills however are shrouded in an almost constant mist, and whilst I was initially disappointed with this, I have come to enjoy trying with my camera and photoshop to capture some of the natural beauty of these eerie scenes.

The mists combined with the colours of autumn are providing some stunning vistas, exposing different aspects of the valleys and hills as the grounds rise in the distance. Trees and buildings are revealed or hidden as if on a whim by the mist’s power, we just watch, and enjoy what we are permitted to see.
