"Fog is more dangerous than dark, as it gives the illusion of seeing." - Aleksandra Ninkovic


Our last morning on the South Coast was overcast and rainy so I decided to head back via Bowral to visit Dirty Janes. (the antique shop discussed here).

The mists grew to fog as I ascended the mountains, making it a specatcular vista which I would have loved to have photographed if only there was anywhere to pull over.

I made a pitstop at Fitzroy Falls, but only made it to the first look out. The fog was full white out so the walk to the second lookout would only have been for the exercise, as there would be nothing visible beyond the rail.

Howver, I was still very happy with my morning excursion. It was a delightful cocoon of anticipated excitement. A swirling reward of repainted scenery.

  9. Great post! I have missed so many photo opportunities because I was driving. Once there was a bear walking in the mist, but there was no place to pull off.
