Artwork description:

I have always loved taking photos in the calmness of the fog or mist. There is something therapeutic and meditative about the way the fog shrouds the landscape into mystic dreamscapes. Creating an atmospheric high-key dreamworld, warping the perspective by isolating objects, almost removing them from their environment. It can make objects appear far away that in reality are very close by as it makes the view flat and two-dimensional. Also, fog and mist always reminds me of Scandinavian folklore stories and fairytales - probably because of the pencil illustrations in the story books I grew up with in Norway - like the ones by Theodor Kittelsen illustrating the collections of folktales collected by Asbjørnsen & Moe.

This photograph was captured on one of the legs of the London Capital Ring Walk. It was on a very chilly and misty New Years Day and Eltham Park looked magical as we entered on the north-east from Falconwood. We could hear people playing football on the field in front of us but could not see anybody with the heavy fog. With the exception of the faint sound of the game of football the cold and fog seemed to put people off going outdoors which made for a very quiet and peaceful walk along the route.
