Definitely a typical grey misty day here in Suffolk too. I admire the way you convey the hazy atmosphere. I can feel the damp air. Well done.

Admosfera well achieved, despite the gray theme really like. These mists can not in all parts of Spain can be seen, much less in the area where I live.
I have the habit of sending a hug, with friendship.

Very atmospheric. I'm glad you put the car in, otherwise it would have been a bit spooky!

Nice work and brave to face that weather. Here we have a nice sun shine day, and is really rare have some mist for intent to painting.
Best regards
