Tonight I didn't make it out for my walk until around 11pm. I had been going all day with plenty on, but when I had been out driving around, I noticed that the whole town looked a bit...dusty. Like someone had taken a dry paint brush with some white or grey on it and brushed it over the houses, the sky, the buildings, and made everything else. It wasn't fog, because fog you can see, and it floats around like little wisps of cloud. It wasn't mist, because mist leaves water droplets all over the windscreen of the car, your hat, your hair, even your eyelashes. It was almost like smog, actually. I haven't seen smog in years. I was born in California, and any time I go back to Los Angeles I'm amazed by smog - I'm not sure where that word comes from, but 'smut' or 'smoke' and 'fog' maybe go together there. It's just kind of a dirtiness all over everything. At any rate, I wondered at it a bit.When I finally went out for my walk late at night, just round the nearby area, it had become more like an actual fog, because it made stars out of the street lights and covered things a bit more. I had a few things on my mind so it was a walk in which I thought everything out and was pretty surprised to find myself back at the flat within 10 or 15 minutes...it seemed as though a few seconds only had gone by.
Walk length: 10 minutes
