Monday's fog was the thickest I think I've ever seen. Mrs. Craver said that it was even heavier just an hour before we drove through this soup together! She offered to take the wheel, and so I sat, gazing with amazement at the soft, beautiful haze.
.
A few hours later, on our way back from the house where Goo Goo stays (see previous post), I was struck by how one spot looked like sun streaks, except that it was not a celestial spectacle. Rather, it came from a combination of a streetlight, trees and a low, hazy fog. Unfortunately, it was too late to stop the car and mess around with the camera; I had to take the family home..
So what is this picture? Well, it was only 2 or 3 blocks from home, so after dropping them off, I went back to see if I could capture the image, and here it is. :-).
Is this heaven? No... lower.

Dreadful weather to drive in.--But-- what a fantastic photo, love the sun shining trough in streaks of light and the colour.
Come and visit and see what you think Lies Beneath?
It does look like sunlight, doesn't it?
I don't like to drive in fog, but I really really hate driving in fog when there is snow on the ground... everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is white.
Great photo. I haven't tried taking many night photos, I will have to change that.
I have to say though, on second look, those dark streaks in the picture where light isn't so strong, could raise suspicion that it is indeed, night.
It's amazing just how strong the sun is, how it is hard to filter out, even with heavy clouds and trees. I'm amazed at the clarity sunlight brings even on cloudy and yes, foggy (though I can't remember one, recently) days.
That is an absolutely amazing shot! That is one of the most beautiful fogs I've ever seen. Wow!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate the comment. :)
Sorry; my writing wasn't real clear. This was a night shot. It was 10PM, and the light source was a street lamp, not the sun.
Shammy gets extra points for paying close attention, and I lob a snowball at anybody who doesn't get that it was a night photo. Mwaaa ha haaa...
Nice shot. Fog can be incredibly dangerous. I was driving in the mountians one night, when this fog dropped, and I couldn't see 5 feet, and the lights just made in worse.
Man was that frustrating!
"Is this heaven? No... lower."
What do you mean here Craver? I'm sure it's as plain as the nose on my face, but I have cornflakes for brains sometimes.
Celestial pea soup.
Welcome, Kathryn! Hey guys, check out Kathryn's blog; her parents are celebrating their 49 year wedding anniversary. God bless them!
It's not your cornflakes Sandman; it's my corny attempt at a double-entendre. It was a way to reaffirm that the image was not the sunlight way up in the clouds, but a low, low fog under a single streetlight. Plus, I can't remember how the joke goes, but a guy died and when he was greeted in the afterlife, he asked, "Is this heaven?" St. Peter said, "No... lower, " because he was going to "H, E, double-hockeysticks." That's all I remember of the joke.
Yeah Eve, this was pretty thick stuff.
So this guy in the joke was an author before he died. St. Peter let's him take a peek inside hell. The tortured are chained to desks and they are typing away, trying to meet deadlines with distractions, shouting bosses, insufficient lighting and muggy heat.
St. Peter then takes the guy to see heaven and it looks exactly the same. This guy says, "Hold the presses! There's no difference!" St. Peter says, "Oh yeah? Well, up here, you get published."
Hey, I got something RIGHT for a change!! (Shammy pats herself on the back... ohhh my shoulder... call a chiropractor, quick!)
I think this is an exciting photo.
lovely...hum...makes me want to try some "street light at night" shots!
I loved the fog. Three whole days of it. Inspiring in its beauty. (And you began to capture that here.)
Oh i hate fog, very hard to see,But the light thru the fog is kind of eerie
Don't know how i missed your blog on sky watch
Thanks GAWO. As for me, it was exciting to see a visit from Norway! I was pleased to see your comment.
NaNcY, I'm glad you're going to do them. You have presented some beautiful pictures on your photo blog.
Another new visitor! Welcome, Lilli & Nevada! Can LL Barkat and I try to change your mind? Although I'm not sure why the fog is so appealing to me. Maybe it's the soft natural beauty, the cool thickness, perhaps the allure of mystery.
I am not an official participant in Sky Watch. I just happened to have an image that mimicked the sun's rays, and noticed that other people were doing sky photos.
