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.
Wow, beautiful.
Thanks for sharing these - lovely pics! Does Seth have a website or blog we can check out?
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.
Seth
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!
Full of mystery and beauty! Wow! Love them.
these are yummy!
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!
