Mist at Yellowham Woods The mist across the field looked just as if someone had spread some thin delicate layers of cloth that floated a few feet above the ground.

Top of Yellowham Hill In the day of horse cart and carriage this summit must have been a welcome sight for traffic coming to and from Dorchester. It still is a welcome sight for walkers and cyclists.

Layers of mist at Yellowham woods The mist formed quite quickly towards the end of the afternoon in very distinct layers a few feet above the ground and by bending ones knees one could look under the layers or over them.
