2 november 2015 misty day
...at highest seat... in total mist... rooftops of village just visible...
trees beyond that are greenish shapes beneath faint grey cloud... walked
here among softly falling leaves... each descending differently... a
moment unique (like any other)...
...faint sunlight illuminates the green and yellow leaves... in sudden
wind... the mist begins to clear... and now it thickens... and trees
disappear... but now wind ceases and colours return... spiderwebs in
the gorse bushes become visible as grey sheets of mist between
branches... aircraft (invisible) sound as if flying unusually low... i've
not seen many people walking here today....
...strong smell of something... can it be scent of vegetation... or of
some artificial chemical... ?
...the mist thickens more than previously and all but the nearest
rooftops disappear... (visibility about 100 metres)
