In Port Elizabeth, we don't experience the clearly defined seasonal changes that occur in higher latitudes. There is a marked difference in the length of daylight between summer and winter, here at 34 degrees South, compared to the fairly even days I experienced growing up in the tropics (in Harare, Zimbabwe.) But we don't get wonderful Autumn displays, because it is too warm, we never get snow, and it is warm enough throughout winter that many plants continue to blossom, so spring does not arrive with the same drama as it does in colder climates.
The bright patch you can see in the bottom right hand corner is a glimpse of the bay, with the dunes on the opposite side.
A few leaves are still clinging tenaciously to the plane trees in the park across the road from us, but winter is on its way!

Sounds like really interesting weather. I think the saying "if you don't like the weather here just wait a minute" might apply to your area also!
Beautiful pictures as always!
The range of moods and color
in these photos is spectacular. I have tried to capture such images when it is foggy but have not come close to such results! These are gorgeous.
I like the silhouette of the church against those dramatic skies. Even in silhouette, the shape and size suggest strength and comfort--and mystery.
God bless.
Wow, that is some thick fog. Love that orangish yellowish looking sky. Great captures.
I join you in loving this church, and the mist too.
The fog makes it mysterious, I think I have to try it out too.
Beautiful photos.
A joy to look out your own place and see such a sky.. the Church looks as a church should bathed in mist or fog.
Those are all great shots. I love fog and I also love the vivid colors of sunsets so this was double the pleasure for me.
dot, LOL, I must remember that one!
The fog didn't last long, and was replaced by a wonderful sunny day, so your "wait a minute" would have been very apt!
