The Magic of San Francisco's Fog

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Yesterday I met a friend, a real estate colleague from across the bay in Oakland. It was our day for a City walk, which we attempt to schedule quarterly. We share how our markets are doing, what new things we've learned, what challenges we face.

While we talk, we walk.

These pictures were taken as we walked down the hill from the Golden Gate Bridge to Crissy Field, within the space of a couple of minutes.

This is the magic of San Francisco's fog!

Lottie Kendall  Like the contrast of the two pictures it really shows the difference of the fog or is it smog

It's fog from the ocean, Hannah Williams - the two pictures were taken 3 or 4 minutes apart.

And a blessing to keep you cool. We are heating up to 96 degrees here in San Jose today ... even with a little cloud cover ... it is still hot.

Yes, Kathleen Daniels - we're enjoying mid-70s here today; upper 70s yesterday. I have gotten so used to this!

Hi Laura Allen, Lake Tahoe - Truckee Real Estate for Sale www.TahoeLauraLuxuryHomes.com - I wouldn't like to be in midst of fog every day, but that doesn't happen in this part of San Francisco - just enough to be interesting.

When I'm in San Francisco California I look to walking the city. It's a great city to walk in.

Good luck and success.

San Francisco is such a magical place and the way that fog can completely disappear the Golden Gate bridge is awesome.

Hello Lou Ludwig - walking here, 12 months of the year, is always a treat. The fog is our natural air conditioner -- warm, sunny days then the fog comes in to cool us off.

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington  - the fog creates magic!

Hello Gita Bantwal - wishing you a good day, too.

Hello Chris Ann Cleland - the fog, or lack thereof, makes every day seem different - plus keeps our temperature enjoyable.

You never know with the fog, Grant Schneider whether it's in for hours or minutes. So very changeable. This morning there was a thick layer of fog just over the water; a hour later not a speck remains.

We are of like-mind, my dear. Ron and Alexandra Seigel walk with me often while I'm up on Greasy Spoon Road because they went on a hike with me when they visited years ago...so their energy is almost always with me there! it's also where I come up with many ideas about writing, poetry, photos, aha moments about the biz...
