The Narrow Road to the Deep South

We had some very misty mornings last week.  I remember from my geography lessons that this is the result of a  stagnant high pressure system trapping dirty air close to the ground; it's the particles of smoke and pollutants which enable the water vapour to condense out.  It's the same high pressure that has been elbowing out the warm fronts that ought to have brought us much-needed rain.  Back before the Clean Air Acts, this was how the classic Sherlock Holmes pea-souper smogs of London used to happen.

I was pleased with this image as a photograph, but I think it gains something by being given the Japanese print treatment:  Hokusai-san comes to the Southampton campus.  I promise I'll stop doing this soon...
