On Monday I was invited by my mother and a friend of hers to go on a hike along the coast. My mother is in her 60s (but in amazing shape) and her friend early 70s so I thought it would be a piece of cake. I was very wrong LOL. Turns out that the path had been thoroughly destroyed by the many hurricanes and windstorms over the past few years so it was pretty rough terrain!
As you can see in the photo above it was very foggy and we were worried it would rain, but it turned out to be a perfect cool breezy day in the end.
- sidenote- I live next to the ocean and it gets extremely foggy often, like all of a sudden on a clear day the fog will roll in. It's very difficult to capture the beauty using my phone camera though, it seems to automatically sharpen things a bit so the foggy mystery never looks quite as cool :( On this day though the fog was so thick that it actually came through the photos for once!
We started off walking across a few little rocky coastal areas which is kind of treacherous. The rocks can be kind of wobbly so you have to step very carefully so you don't twist an ankle!
I took some videos here too because the sound is incredible. Not only the whooshing of the waves but there's a deep rumbling sound as the water moves all the rocks around. Since we can't embed video I've added it here in a tweet:
We came across an abandoned (shipwrecked?) boat in this little cove:
Between the little coves we had to walk through the woods and with all the downed trees it was a struggle. We were having to climb over and under stuff and take big detours and go through swampy areas with really squishy moss 😂 I did not take any photos of the forest I was too winded...
This was our almost final destination where we sat on the rocks and had a picnic, the waves were crashing in and salty spray was hitting us!
Afterwards we walked out onto the road and I had to capture this last view:
My feet were killing me after walking on the rocks, the whole hike was almost 3 hours which isn't that long but I was just wearing cheap sneakers which was probably a bad decision :)
Here is a look at the ocean, the horizon was not even visible:

I love to be friends with people who are quite older than me just like your mum and her friend
The pictures you took are lovely
It was a beautiful walk
Yeah it was tough but I'm happy I did it for the views alone 😂
Look who we have here! hahhaa That first shot is epic! I know what you mean about capturing the fog too. Here in Sweden where I am we get a lot of fog since there are so many lakes around and the weather is crazy. I have never captured a decent enough shot with a cell phone camera (even though it's better than my digital cam).
Glad you got to get out with your mom and enjoy some time together. Next time, wear some more hardcore shoes! hahaha Thanks for sharing your experience with us in the community!
Yeah it makes me sad, sometimes I can literally see like clouds of fog rolling through my yard but on camera it barely looks like anything 😭🤣 I almost always feel disappointed my ocean photos too because the absolute vastness of it just never compares to the naked eye, I felt like these ones were some good captures of the mood though, thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful pictures, that fog gives an air of suspense and misery, it's great!😃
Foggy days are definitely a mood 😍
Definitely, even melancholic!
Beautiful rugged coast. Misty too. I've never been to the east coast, but it reminds me a lot of the islands around here. Vancouver also gets misty at certain times of the year, but it's not so majestic. When the fog rolls down the streets and alleys, one starts to wonder if the Chupacabra is real 😥
The coastal areas definitely have some spooky dreamy vibes, I love it but we had a stretch of a full week with just grey skies and no sun and I was feeling pretty BLAH!
One week with gray skies? If it's any consolation, it's been years since we've seen the sun in BC. ☁️😌☁️
ughhhhh, our spring tends to be pretty grey but we get quite a lot of sunny days too!
Looks like home!
Another coastal dweller? When I moved away to Montreal I missed the smell of the sea so much!
You have really taken very beautiful pictures of the beach and the fog. I liked it. Thanks for sharing.
