The air seemed "thick" and it was hard to succesfully resolve some objects...
Even tonight was better...
I think due to the heavy rains their is so much moisture in the ground/air and it just covered everything...i noticed the streetlights looked almost as if shrouded in fog....It was thick dew!
cheers

Thanks Stevo, nice to know I wasn't being a princess.

Last night was better in respect to dew but I had some light cloud come over.
