I love the way dense fog gives everything a slightly spooky, otherworldly feel, especially in the woods. I bet that was a great walk. Our walks tend to be short-ish (young children) with lots of stops (children and dog) but we do occasionally manage what you'd call a hike, and I just love it. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-77788293276021254532017-01-08T13:36:50.369+01:002017-01-08T13:36:50.369+01:00It is enchanting walking in the fog, but less so w...It is enchanting walking in the fog, but less so when you drive.

I understand what you mean about the slightly oppressive feel, although for me, it feels more cosy and homely than oppressive. On the other hand, I would not want to live permanently down in a dark valley surrounded by the Black Forest.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42225501042068149482017-01-07T23:06:55.737+01:002017-01-07T23:06:55.737+01:00Just so beautiful.

It wasn't slippery the way I had expected it to be; the people who built the tower had thought of that, so that the viewing platform would be accessible in all kinds of weather.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9454783801607040262017-01-06T09:44:44.287+01:002017-01-06T09:44:44.287+01:00Thank you!
