What WAS Hiding in the Fog???

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Yesterday I posted this picture of the beautiful fog obscuring objects and asked you to tell me what was hidden.

 

You're a clever group, or possibly my location gave it away, but most of you knew that it was the Golden Gate Bridge, with only a few feet of it's famous cables peeking through the fog.

Golden Gate Bridge

Fog: our area's natural air conditioning. It cools us off each evening, allowing us to start each day fresh.

I knew it!  Thanks for giving us the update Lottie! It's a rare occasion we get fog here in Arizona so it's quite special when it happens.

Lottie, And I still hope that Mr. Sun was also hiding high above the fog ... San Francisco's built in air conditioning system.

Good morning, Dan Dee McGinnis, DTM, NADOTA - the Golden Gate Bridge is amazing, in all of it's moods

Hi Nicole Doty - Gilbert Real Estate Expert - yep, you were right. Our fog adds mystery as well as cooling us off. One rarely has to go far to find the sun.

Kathleen Daniels - the day I took the foggy picture was not unusual; we had visited friends in Sebastopol, where it was sunny and in the mid-80s. We stopped for a short hike north of the GGB where it was foggy and extremely windy at the top of the hill. The minute we got on the bridge, the sky was clear and San Francisco was basking in the sun. Gotta love this area!

I loved when we would come into the city and encountered the fog.  A

It's such a gorgeous city - even in fog. Or is that, especially in fog. :) Regardless, thanks for sharing. Happy Sunday, Lottie. D

We will Lottie - although, hot again here today. We've had really hot weather this summer. Mid to upper 90's again. Oh well, this too shall pass.

As long as wildfires stay away, we'll be happy in all the western states, Debb Janes I heard reports yesterday from the vintners saying that the unusally mild temperatures we've had this summer have resulted in them worrying about powdery mildew on the vines.

That was fun Lotie. I know a little bit about San Fran so I have heard and seen the fog.

Lottie very cool. I knew what it was and it brought back great memories and hanging in San Fran on foggy days - such a different kind of beauty.

Lottie - Well, I wasn't sure that it was the Golden Gate Bridge, but thought it might be. It is such an iconic structure that is known throughout the world.

Lottie it is amazing how thick the fog gets around the Bay Bridge.  It is hard to explain, it needs to be experienced.

 Good Monday morning Lottie. I figured it had been the Bay Bridge. It's hard to believe that something that massive will be covered with fog.
