A Little Misty, A Little Mystery

Colonial Lake, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok

A creeping fog veils Colonial Lake in the early hours of dawn. This could easily be the setting for an Alfred Hitchcock film or an Edgar Allen Poe mystery.

    Une ambiance brumeuse et enveloppée avec ce mauve et ces éclairages chlorophylles !
    Bon début de semaine lumineuse et chaleureuse!

    Or those ever-foggy crime scenes Sherlock Holmes visits! Or even the wise and quite sneaky Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau. The Pink Panther has already painted the sky and water to taunt him. : )

    Brilliant mix of light.
    Good matched title for this magical image.
    And I like outline of a tree in the foreground.

    Une splendeur vénitienne transfigurée poétiquement par le flou !
    Bonne journée lumineuse et chaleureuse!

    Too colourful for Hitchcock or Poe, but mysterious enough for us! (:-)
    Well done composition and charming colours.

    Indeed!!!

    May I use this as a photo prompt for a micro fiction piece? The image and your description created a story in my head.

    Please let me know.

    Here is a link to my writing blog: magalyguerrero.blogspot.com

    I'll link back to you, of course.

    Here is the link to the fictional bit, your gorgeous work inspired: http://magalyguerrero.blogspot.com/2011/02/misty-lake.html

    I hope you weren't expecting something "cute"; my writing tends to lean toward the dark and bloody.

    Gracias!
