Look for weather

Woods near Silver Creek
Photograph by Tom Atwood

Trust me: this is a very ordinary woods wrapped around Silver Creek which cuts through Madison County. I have driven past it dozens of times. But yesterday morning, in the the fog at dawn, everything seemed different. The light was unusual. And the fog added an element that is only seen here...when it's foggy! So, my advice is this: when you see weather that is unusual, take pictures. An unusual sunset, cloud formation, tornado. That's when you will get memorable photos. Trust me.
