LONDON -- The start of November hasn't been great for seeing more than 10 feet in front of your nose, but it's certainly been good for photos.

Throughout the Halloween weekend much of Britain was covered in a thick blanket of fog, frustrating many travellers but creating countless opportunities for a moody photo or two.

London made for an impressive sight.

Some people also grabbed some nice aerial shots.

But the more rural shots were the most spectacular of all.
