Photo 365 - Day 327 (Surfer Fog)

Day 327 (May 26th, 2011)
Title: Surfer Fog

A sad, but true, conversation heard while I was taking pictures:

Surfer #1: Dude, look it's the Golden Gate! 

Surfer #2 (not in photo): Wow!  You've got to get a picture!

Surfer #1: I know, right!  .  Ahh, man!  Its all blurry cuz of the fog!

Surfer #2: Dude, just wipe the lens off! Then their won't be any fog!

Surfer #1: Hey!  Look, its much better, now you can see the fog over the bridge!



I just stood there and blinked a lot. 

Enjoy!

Day 62 (September 4th, 2010)
Title: Fog Bank


To paraphrase the great Crocodile Dundee: 



That's not a fog bank
Now THAT'S a fog bank!

A few days ago, the heat in the Bay Area was really hot (at least for us - high 80's to mid 90's).  And, then the heat just went away and our lovely fog finally came back!  And it came back with a vengeance!  Within 20-30 minutes, it went from clear and toasty to nearly impossible to see more than a few hundred feet in-front of you because of the fog!  The temperature dropped 20-30 degrees (I know at our house, it went from 88 to 65) in an hour.  It was strange watching it, because it looked like it had a life of its own.  I remembered the story, The Fog, by Stephen King and suddenly thought "damn, all those monsters are really going to mess up highway 80!"  Still, it was fun to watch the city disappear! 

If you look closely, you can still see the electric tower in the top-left section and just to the left of it, a top of one of the skyscrapers! 

Enjoy!
