Hill Fog Bonus

Not many people like fog. It's been most dense in the hills. The enveloping cloud is just the thing to bring out these effects. But we must have trees. Our landscape does not have enough trees in the hills. Where you do find them, especially  alongside hill streams there's always something to look at.

It's no secret I find moors boring and in comparison with wooded uplands I can't see why anyone should be so determined to tell us these artificially treeless and exploited open wastes are 'iconic'. But on a foggy day in March they are as dreary a place as an abandoned industrial estate. Except the latter has usually been colonised by some interesting botanical specimens. In the trees however the mist becomes a feature.
