Unbelieveably dark day here. It's hard to tell if it's still dawn or
dusk has come early. The drizzle isn't helping the dreary outlook
either. It's just relentless here. Surely there must be some sun this
week?

Dave you should try living on Dartmoor?

Dense fog today all day (50 metres) in Haytor.
Everywhere is sopping wet, even vertical surfaces.
It is not unusual and you have to get used to it up here, at any time of
year!

Fog is not too bad to take phtographs with a flash, as the water
droplets acts like microscopic reflectors, so I don't need to power up
the flash that much.

Better than the cold like yesterday with temp only at 4c. I was taking
photos around Walsall, with two cameras a medium format and a 35mm
format. My 35mm camera with it's all electronics finally had enough
after 2 hours with the battery drained. Though my old mechnical medium
format camera was still working well. And they call it progress !
