Sabine in Gozo

Random rants & pics from a little island in the Mediterranean Sea

Fog and dew

Woke up this morning at the unholy hour of 5.15 am, to take photos of the Kempinski’s indoor pool an hour before the first swimmers would appear and splash about. By the time I left home thick fog patches here and there and a reddish sunrise sky made me want to change direction and take photos of a different kind. Sadly that was no option. I arrived about 20 minutes before the agreed time, hoping my camera would have enough time to get accustomed to the tropical air of the indoor pool area – but boy was I wrong! I did get a few shots done, with lots of lens-wiping (and sweating!!) but all in all it was a very frustrating task.

Back in the normal climate of the office, I took a couple of pics, just to make sure the camera was still working how it should. And as luck would have it, the palm fronds in front of the window were dripping with morning dew – what a lovely sight! (click to enlarge)
