Veiled

2nd February 2017 By Robin Boag

More new words on moving north. ‘Haar’ for the sudden wall of fog that sweeps in unbidden off the North Sea. ‘Smirr’ for what I can only describe as a hybrid of mist and fine drizzle. But I haven’t been taught the word for the low-lying mist that skims the surface of lochs on rare mornings (rare for this photographer anyway).

Magic is the only word for it – there is a transience to these mists as they veil the water’s surface. Looking through the viewfinder, they’re like visual graphic equalisers; fine-tuning between settings from transparent to opaque. They obscure and reveal – offering elusive sculptural glimpses between clicks of the shutter-button.
