Fog on the border

Boxing Day — no traffic, no people. Presteigne's High Street was hidden behind a wall of fog. I spent the morning following the same path repeatedly, watching how the fog made the town disappear: the street fell away beyond each lamp, the buildings bleached into mist, the colours — green awnings, terracotta, cream render — becoming the only anchors in white. The fog gave the medieval market town a strange quiet.
