Oh, I am in love with that shot, speaks to me. And I think dimma is a better word for fog.
This should be more E for Extraordinary. I love the mood of this picture. That tree looks so dramatic! I can almost hear the werewolves howling.
That tree really is something, I keep staring at it. I love seeing trees when they are bare, because you can see all the beautiful branch structure. Now that I think on it, that would make a great scene in a Witcher video, wouldn’t it?
Looks like it came right out of a classic Universal horror film.
Thank you, Caine and Charly.
I’ve made a mistake, the cliffs are Humallahti cliffs, not Taivallahti cliffs, the bay Taivallahti is more to the south and the bay to the north of the island Rajasaari is the bay Humallahti (hop bay).
The chain in the left is put up around a cairn-type Bronze Age grave.
That is gorgeous.
The gothic photomanipulators on deviantart would have so much Love for that.
Air with lumps in.

Thank you!
I can almost see a werewolf on that pedestrian crossing and the ghost of Bronze Age chief or matron just jaywalking straight over the street.
Whoever was buried there in the grave may have been your ancestor, my ancestor or rq’s ancestor. Or a nth cousin m times removed.
Entrancing.
What a moody photo. I love it. It’s almost like the tree in the foreground is warning you to be careful about going into the mist.
Thank you, Joseph and voyager.
That impressive looking tree is not only bare, but dead -- it seems to be a recently deceased pine.
Dead pine trees often remain standing for a while, shedding their bark and fine branches, turning into a weathered trunk called kelo in Finnish. This one isn’t quite there yet.

I think you’re right. My memory of that photo trip is a bit foggy, but I’m getting vague recollections that it was indeed a dead pine. The shape is right.
Snag is the English word for kelo.
What an enchanting photo, Ice Swimmer, there is something about that tree that really captures my attention. And I agree with Caine, Dimma is a much better word than both fog and the Portuguese nevoeiro.
It also just occurred to me that I have never done an alphabet round. I’ve thought about it but never got around to doing it. Hm… maybe I could start mine when you finish yours… :)
I’d be more than happy to host another one, Nightjar!
Thank you, Nightjar!
Dimma is pronounced like this. (En is a singular indefinite article (a/an) in Swedish.)
Caine, I will consider it! Can’t promise to do it daily, though. I will have to think about frequency and also about language and then I will let you know :)
