Rural landscapes: life in a world of fog

ME AND THE MORNING MIST, NEAR PINCHER CREEK, ALBERTA

I love making photographs in foggy conditions, but always find it a challenge to find compelling subjects that will photograph well. Just before driving out of the fog, I came across this entrance to a rural ranch in the western Canadian prairies. It needed a person, so I used the camera timer and ran back and forth several times before getting it right.
Then there was the matter of a lack of colour. Except for me and my clothes, the scene was practically monotone, so it was an easy decision to keep me in colour and convert the rest of the photo to black-and-white.
