When the weather outside is frightful, it’s hard to tell the difference between black and white or colour

When the weather outside is frightful, it’s hard to tell the difference between black and white or colour

It’s been mostly a wet and foggy winter so far in Kitimat, known so far as Snow Valley.  Looking out from my front window. I can see the low lying fog along the Kitimat River and Kitimat harbour, often totally obscuring Douglas Channel.   Often the fog seems to hug the ground, meaning the tops of the conifers emerge from the fog to create a mysterious landscape.   With the late December sun low in the southern sky, days before the Solstice,  there is very little light. And as the headline indicates, under these conditions it’s hard to tell the difference between the original colour imagine and a black and white conversion.
