CombeBird’s image of the month - August 2021

Another cracker from Combebird who was clearly in the right place at the right time to capture this shot. There’s something very seasonal about waking up to a thick sea mist rolling in over the ocean. Unlike cloud, which can be thick and oppressive, you just know that eventually the warm summer sun will burn that moody mist away and raise the curtains on a beautiful day. This picture is also a fine metaphor for our current situation, the mist of coronavirus is gradually clearing to reveal the vivid colours of ‘normal’ life once again. But, as any sailor will tell you, even a thin veil of mist can hide all sorts of dangers, so it’s best to proceed with care and caution.
