Does anyone else remember the film 'Play Misty for Me'? A psychological thriller, it was made in 1971, starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. It was the scariest film I've ever seen! For some reason it came to my mind as I walked in Hirst Wood just before Christmas. It was misty, and everything does look spookier in those conditions but thankfully no ill befell me on my walk!
The marcescent beech leaves brought a welcome touch of warmth, as did the 'wishing tree' at the entrance to the wood.
The third photo from the top is my favourite of this lot!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the film, but I find mist or fog only scary when someone has to drive (not me, since I have never learned to drive, nor even attempted to).
When I'm out walking on a day like that I find the different atmosphere the fog lends to familiar surroundings quite wonderful.
I remember vaguely the film, and think there was some nice music involved too. There's a certain mood that misty/foggy scenes evoke.
