Chasing Fog
Pashby chases fog across the Somerset Levels, the Thames and the Scottish haar, making a natural history of weather into an argument for not seeing clearly.
Pashby goes looking for fog across Britain, from the Somerset Levels to the Thames and the Scottish haar, in a book that is part natural history of a weather phenomenon and part argument for the value of not seeing clearly. She is a photographer as well as a writer, and the chapters keep returning to what a landscape gives up only when most of it has been taken away.

In Chasing Fog (public library), writer and photographer Laura Pashby composes a beguiling love letter to “the wonder and soothing balm of fog,” to “the irresistible romance of stepping into a cloud at ground level,” to what it teaches us about the visible and the invisible.
