What's "Wx" mean? And is that fog just under the horizon or something else? Just curious. I love the B&W conversion on this.

great shot and conversion!

wx is an abbreviation for "weather"

You can say that again! Terrific shot!

Thanks everyone. The stuff under the horizon qualifies as stuff (dirty lens).

To Jeff: "Wx" means "weather"--it's aviation shorthand.

Very nice image--I like it a lot!

oops - just saw that DJ answered the wx question . . .

Thanks Lauren.

This is one of those shots that I evisioned for the month before I had a chance to get out and shoot with a slightly different angle. When I got up to the little weather station, I could see that my geometry (with the mountains nearby) was off. I walked around to the other side, looked up and started to curse the fading contrail. With a little work I got it to look like the weather vane was trying to do something it wasn't made to- Fly.

It does indeed look like a contrail from the tail of the vane! At a quick glance you could also say those tiny wispy clouds in the distance are a flight of airplanes trying to catch up with the weather vane! :rolleyes

If this place is near to you, have you tried to get it with a sunset/sunrise? Might be a nice image also.

Clever use of contrail and the dirty lens does much to further my interest
in the shot. How often will an unclean lens + a shot?

It's a very trippy setting a litle over 100 miles from where I live. I have the drive out to catch a sunrise fairly routine, I've done it about 1/2 dozen times now. As mentioned before, I didn't get the shot I wanted. I'm not ready to let it go- I will be back.

Thanks. :) Almost an incentive to not clean my lens anymore, but what are the odds of lucking out consistantly?
