To tågede morgener ~ Two Foggy Mornings

I går var tågen tyk som ærtesuppe. Alting var væk. Det var som om et Ingenting fra Fantasien (Den uendelige historie) var ved at opsluge verden.
Yesterday was foggy. If you ever read The Never-Ending Story you might see a Nothing swallowing the world.

I dag var det også tåget, men en helt anden tåge. Utroligt hvad et par graders forske kan gøre.
Today was foggy as well, bur what a difference a few degrees lower temperature can do.

I dag lykkedes det mig også at fange et par flokke af trækkende fugle. Hvis du ser rigtig godt efter, kan du få øje på to flokke her på billedet.
If you look closely - and maybe embiggen the photo - you can see two flocks of migratory birds in this photo.

Flokken længst til venstre. Det er gæs. Spørg mig ikke hvilken slags. De sidder på markerne i store flokke og æder kornet til landmændenes irritation.
The leftmost flock. A wedge of geese. Don't ask me what kind of geese. They land in the fields in huge flocks and graze the sprouting grain to the farmers' chagrin.

-- 🐦 --

Og fra højre. En flok svaner. De seneste år er svaner gået fra at overvintre som par til at overvintre i samlede flokke. VI har haft sådan en flok her i nærheden, og nu flyver de tilbage til deres redesteder i mindre flokke, der deler sig op i mindre og mindre enheder for at ende som par igen. Et foretrukkent delested er lige over vores hus.
Swans! For some years now swans have wintered in flocks, where earlier they did so in pairs only. And we have such a flock near by. Now spring is on its way and they leave in small units splitting up in the air into smaller and smaller flocks ending up in their pairs flying to their old nesting places. Such a point for parting of ways is almost on top of our house.

  1. I haven't read The Never-Ending story in a very long time, but I have seen the movie and in that The Nothing is so dark. Your fog is prettier.

    1. I read the book many, many years ago, long before the movie, so I suppose my conception of the Nothing was coloured my my reading. The book is much better.

  2. What a difference the sunshine made in the second photo.

    1. Sunshine makes almost anything better, but in this case the drop in temperature - only 2 or 3 degrees but from above to below freezing - helped a lot.

  3. A little more sunshine, a slight difference in temperature, and no two fogs are alike.

    It's not easy for farmers when their crops are eaten by voracious wildlife.

    1. So true, both of them, even if I think geese are a nicer pest than the hordes of small black beetles later on.
