It's all in the details London, ON November 2022 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Colors can be muted. Details seem to lose their edge. Depth perception may flatten out.
Even sounds seem to drain away as the real world gets pushed further away.
But then interesting things begin to happen.
An entirely new set of colors - more monochromatic, but no less vibrant - emerges from the murk.
Different details present themselves against the simplified landscape.
That flatness? The better to see what remains.
Even the sounds, muted as they are, come into focus. We may not hear as much. Or maybe the volume is dialed down. Even so, it feels like a soundtrack - and a moment - we’ll never forget.
Indeed, as fog removes things from our midst, it simultaneously replaces them with an entirely new palette of experiences.
And all we need to do is stand completely still for a bit and let ourselves tune our brains in a little more finely. As we remove things from the scene, we perversely see and hear more. Makes sense to me.
I can’t wait till the clouds next crash to earth, and I plan on getting out there when they do. You’ll be able to find me if you look and listen just so.
