On some days, the bridge dissolves into the fog (photo)

Today is one of such days. The fog is so dense it imposes a belljar effect on everything, and dulls even the traffic frenzy at commute time. I look to the east and strain my eyes but can't see the end of the Bay Bridge at all. Foghorns blare, forlorn and a little melancholy, betraying the boats that come and go beyond the realm of the visible.

Ahhhhh. This is why I still love it here.

(And now I think I know what building you work in. Heh. My kid's godmother is there, too.)

It's a magical city. One of my cherished memories dates back to high school: listening to the teacher read a mention of the Alcatraz foghorn from The Maltese Falcon while hearing actual foghorns in the background.

I'm here three days a week. No pressure, but you should stop by some time! I'll treat you to lunch! ;)

Oddly enough we're having fog issues as well. It started on Saturday morning, then Sunday morning and now it's been an all day event today. Plus it's only 36F so it's a chilly fog.

Fog is what this city has for breakfast. :) It's generally nice unless it puts you in a dangerous situation.

Yeah, I find that my appreciation for fog rises when I'm warm and cozy and looking out the window at it from inside. :)

Wow. I lived on a tiny boat for a time and I remember fog like this. Walking up the dock in it was always an adventure.

That sounds really romantic! And very freeing -- always ready for an adventure! :)

I love the way fog seems to part and reveal new scenery as you walk. It's a way that even in the heart of the city, one gets to experience the magic of nature.

That looks so gorgeous!

Thanks! I heart my city. :)
