<p>Hello,<br>
I work on a translation of an excerpt from Lawrence Durrell's novel Black Book and there is a simile which I do not fully understand. It has something to do with film development, I suppose. (I'm a second-language speaker).<br>
<em>The morning came like a yellow fog along a roll of developing film.</em><br>
The novel is from 30s. Do you have any idea what the simile means? Did yellow fog come naturally after developing film in those days or is it a flaw or something unique? ... I'd be grateful for any information.</p>
