Edinburgh fog

With dense fog here in Edinburgh on Friday and visibility in this part of town reduced to about fifty yards, a journey across the city was quite eerie as statues and buildings loomed out of the gloom. Above is George IV, next is the dome of the Bank of Scotland,

and also on The Mound, the Black Watch Memorial:

But Edinburgh fog is not just a meteorological condition pertaining to the Athens of the North, it is also a pudding!

The link to this recipe - aptly, given the ingredients - includes a pop-up ad entitled "how to lose 3lbs off your belly"...

How useful! I'll be able to fit into my corset in time for Christmas then.

There's something about your photographs that remind me of Hammershøi's Montague Street, London, lovely.

Funny, we are having the exact same weather. A real pea-souper here. Perfect for making Christmas cards however.

I think I love mist and fog beyond all other weathers. My Irish friend says I have an 'Irish soul' but then again, it could be 'Scottish soul' or 'English soul' just as well. :<)
