Autumn

It's a foggy day today - which of itself isn't uncommon for this time of year, but what makes it special is that the fog has hung around even after the sun has (nominally) risen. The day started early, I went to teach a merry group of engineers at the locomotive factory, but now find myself at a loose end for a couple of hours until I go back to HQ to teach a couple of mild-mannered (but extremely lively) children in the afternoon.

I walked home (in order to go past the post office to pick up a book I'd ordered) and I walked deliberately slowly, watching the fog curl down along the narrow side-streets between the old buildings (of which, fortunately, there are still a couple left in Kassel. They must have been very sturdily constructed!).

On my way back I will walk through the park and take a couple of decent photographs of the fog to try and capture the mood.

**Update**

Of course the fog had lifted by the time I left the house (and hadn't had the courtesy to descend again by the time I left the school) but, not to be deterred, I took these couple of pictures below in the park.
