The weather didn't treat us well here in the valley during late autumn and early winter. But sometimes we'd get fog in the morning, and the old macrocarpas and broken pines would rise up out of it like creatures from myth, and later the sun would burn off the mist and the day would turn brilliant and almost warm.

I'd gladly take your weather, you can have mine.
Reminds me of the many Missoula winters I endured. The valley suffered from winter "inversions". There were times the sun was able to break through but those days were few. The only way to rise above it was to drive to the pass (usually with cross country skis!) Glad to hear you've enjoyed some brilliant afternoons! Maureen
You're welcome to it, Zhoen.
Maureen, I grew up (arguably) in Christchurch, which is also notorious for temperature inversions. Unfortunately, what got trapped wasn't just fog — it was also smoke from domestic fires and smog from vehicles.
I hope you got your lovely afternoon?
This gives me the sense of a gathering storm ... almost cathartic. Thanks!
RR, I did indeed. In fact, I have another rather nice one today.
Barbara, you're welcome :^)
Kia ora Pete - have just returned from the midwest of the states where the weather was mostly unbearably hot. I closed my eyes and dreamed of scenes like this. Hope you are well.
Cheers,
Robb
Kia ora Robb — thanks. I'm in Christchurch at the moment, enjoying a wonderful time with the family. Enjoying the signs of Spring starting to appear, too. E noho ra, e hoa.
