An endless blanket of thick grey cloud. Barely a breath of wind. Nothing moves or changes.
This is the weather we’ve had on repeat in Manchester and much of the UK recently, as a vast autumn anticyclone settled over us.
Sluggish grey skies tend to put a downer on capturing colourful, active photographs.
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. In my Castlefield neighbourhood, the waterways were so still that reflections were solid and dynamic. Autumn leaves hadn’t been strewn about in the wind.
One morning the gloom descended deeper in the guise of fog, making the local skyscrapers shrouded and eerie.
Do you like the dull calm or prefer your weather to move faster?

I lay flat on the ground to see foggy skyscrapers!

I love skyscrapers shrouded in clouds and fog, both from below as well as from above – I once flew into London and you could see nothing but all the famous skyscrapers peeking out above the clouds.

Ah yes, magical! I’ve seen some of those photos created in Manchester from drones or the higher levels of the towers :)

stillness and fog- oh yes – dreamy, reflective – and these colours pop but I also like B&W for such times

There’s more to a long-lived anticyclone than meets the eye :) You’re right, Laura, it really suits monochrome although the fog shots are colour. Has low pressure muscled in with you today as well?
