Taking A Dim View Of The Countryside

Dense fog on the evening of Friday, January 20, 2017, provided an ideal, but not at all safe weather photography opportunity. The illuminated grain elevator images seen above were captured at 8:45 pm CST, and look west from Radio Road northeast of Marion, Iowa, about .9-mile east of Highway 13. Besides visibility being reduced to less than a quarter-mile, the dirt/gravel road (seen at lower left) was becoming a sticky, muddy mess from light falling rain, and made driving a challenge. I had to back up (with flashers on) past the grain elevators into a driveway to turn around and return home. Weather conditions at this moment were: Temperature: 37 degrees F, dew point: 37 degrees, humidity 100%, wind direction: east, wind speed: 7 mph, visibility: less than a quarter mile, vertical visibility: 100 feet. Images are 8 second exposures at f/9, ISO 250. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
