Big Creek Photos

Reader Seth Melchert sent me a few photos he took in Big Creek a few years back, and said I could share them with you. I chose these two because of my love of foggy photographs. Thank you Seth for sharing these with me and readers of bigsurkate.

  • The fog always creates such a wonderful monochrome setting. These are so mysteriously beautiful. Thanks Seth. Thanks Kate!! Great job.

  • I appreciate the comments. Those are magical moments, and you almost have to seize them when they happen. I especially like the oak - there is a limb in the middle that reaches out of the mist towards you. In this smaller blog format it does not show as well as in native resolution.

    No, I do not have a photo web site...I'm kind of a Luddite with some of these things. I'll try to feed more to Kate and she can post if moved.

  • These are truly amazing photos! I love the depth and mystery in these misty woods, particularly in the top one.
    Thanks for sharing, love it!

  • Yes, really beautiful, Seth. There are so many moments when this coast—especially the South Coast—looks like a mountains-and-rivers scroll painting.

  • Seth, that first one looks as though the branch from out of the fog is beckoning to the viewer. Love it!
