Mt. Tam Panoramas
I went back to Marin just before sunset to get the panoramas I need for the O'Reilly article. The bridge, and the entire city, were still obscured by fog, but the Mountain provided some excellent vistas all the same:
Looking south towards San Francisco
Looking north into Marin towards Sebastapol
Looking out west towards the setting of the sun
A small crowd plays in the failing light
Even these panoramic pictures can't do justice to just how beautiful it was to stand above the clouds and watch as they spread out like a rolling ocean over the land below. Just as fun was driving through it. I rolled down the windows and smelled the fresh air. Russell stuck his head outside until the standing raindrops covered his head. He brought his head back in, shook it off, and stuck it out just as quickly.
As we crossed the Golden Gate to come back home the fog was so thick I couldn't see when I was on the bridge and when I was on the freeway. It was the thickest fog I have ever seen.
