A Foggy Morning at Cracks Hill

Crack's Hill, near Crick, October, 2025

Cracks Hill is near the village of Crick, just over the border from Warwickshire. My daughter lives in Houlton, close to Crick, and I was visiting her when the weather forecast predicted thick fog for the morning.

I drove over and walked across the fields, along the canal, and up to Cracks Hill. The fog was dense, and visibility was low. I had brought my tripod, which allowed me to capture some excellent photographs at long exposures with my camera.

The images I liked most were of the cobwebs on the canal bridge, with mist and moisture delicately hanging on the strands. The combination added a sense of mystery to the scene. The area around Cracks Hill is very pretty, and although much of the usual landscape was hidden, I was able to take some wonderfully atmospheric pictures of the trees.

The fog in the countryside contrasts with that seen in the city. Here is a blog when the fog settled on Birmingham.
