asa no kiri
I took a bucketload of shots like this in the space of about 15 minutes on my way to work one winter morning. I’d never seen fog in 25 years of living in Japan and there was no way I could miss work that morning. Fortunately I had to pass through a park and just kept taking shots until I could delay no longer. I arrived at school with about a minute to spare!

Absolutely awesome, and an instant favourite!!! Your story made me smile, because the same thing happened to me last fall! A fantastic fog, and hardly any time for shooting photos. But I was more delinquent, and postponed the appointment! LOL!
kibishipaul replied
Thank you for the wonderful comment. I still regret that I didn’t go delinquent myself, but it was the one day of the year that I couldn’t. Sod’s Law struck me square on the nose that day!
