Hope everybody is having a great ABC Wednesday !
Around the San Francisco Bay Area, "f" stands for fog... No doubt about it...
Fog is a good thing because it brings relief from hot summer weather, but it can be a big problem for motorists and ships.
The Wikipedia says: "Fog formation does require all of the elements that normal cloud formation requires with the most important being condensation nuclei. When the air is saturated, additional moisture tends to condense rather than staying in the air as vapor. Condensation nuclei must be present in the form of dust, aeresols, pollutants, etc. for the water to condense upon. When there are exceptional amounts of condensation nuclei present, especially hydroscopic (water seeking such as salt, see below) then the water vapor may condense below 100% relative humidity".

Fog chose itself, I think Don.
You must be more familiar with fog in your area than most.
Very nice shot. Well done :-)
amazing images..thanks for dropping by...l shall be visitng here again...
thanks
Love these low hanging "foggy" clouds! They look quite imposing!
"Nice" fog - but glad you included the brabches in the foreground - by design of course.
Hello DON
Fog is great when YOU are showing it, in reality I do not like it that much...:)Yours I like very much!
Visit my ABC Theme blog, to see the "F", by different FACE-emotions, seen though...

It's amazing - the fog and the contrast. Looks like you clicked from the sky.
Wonderful shot.
Drop by MDS to see my 'F' for FLYOVER here
I scrolled down through some of your other photos, too, and they are all beautiful.
Fog is beautiful when it lays like low cloud layers over the early morning land, but you're right, it is not so great for motorists. This is a lovely picture. We get a lot of land fog here in my area in the mornings.
That is foggy indeed. Amazing pic! And a great pick for 'F'. :)
Fog is never so spectacular anywhere else as it is here.
Like the composition in this one! Well done, Don!
Cheers, Klaus
Well that's one beautiful fog bank for sure! Have a great Wednesday...
Beautiful photos! But driving in fog is one of the scariest experiences I've had. I'll just enjoy it in your photos.
Thanks for visiting me!
Great shot of the fog. I remember living in San Bruno and the fog rolling over the hills every night. I do miss the fog somewhat. Great site you have, I enjoyed your photography.
I lived in "the city" for a number of years. Love the fog and foghorns.
Fog is Frightful to try to drive through.
Your photo is Fantastic though.
Bear((( )))
Well, that's true but I do love my fog :-D
Terrific fog photo. I think I have said before, I love being above the clouds.
Well done,
Troy
Beautiful moody photo.
Fog is always enjoyable. I love that branch at left side. It looks so artistic.
Thank´s for ading my blog to You blogroll. I´m going to do the same :-D Just tomorrow...
hi, fog leaves the landscape very beautiful, but the highway feel fear, because it becomes very dangerous.
hugs, Denise
oh, how beautiful! Is that moss on the tree branches in the foreground?
Loved the fog. I caught up on some of your cool shots. Nice photos.
SF is famous for it's fogs,I believe, as is Sydney. I lived in Sydney years ago, & the harbour/city area was often shrouded in a pea-souper of it's fogs.
Great shot! I hear the foghorns in the fall when the ferries are heading out in the early mornings.
When we have fog at Mt. Rainier it forces everyone to look at the beauty that is close at hand. Of course, at 5000-8000 feet up the mountain the question is, "has the fog descended, or have we climbed up into the cloud?"
Fantastic Foggy Foto For "F"-Wednesday!
Don these were just so awesome. The fog certainly knocked on your door today.
Thanks for sharing
