I grew up in the little ocean-side town of Pacific Grove, so I am no stranger to fog. Heavy fog. Fog thick enough to cut with a knife. Fog so dense that visibility is measured in noses, not yards. Fog that can chill a boy to the bone. Fog so soupy and drippy that a certain young lad might have had second thoughts about not wearing his rain-gear.

So, last Thursday I thought, surely, a massive amount of fog would be waiting, but I arrived at the twisty grove of Cypresses at San Francisco's "Land's End" only to find much less than I had hoped for. And yes, the trees were still artfully ghostly--just not quite enough "vapors" to evoke a mood.

An adventurous hike took me down to Sutro Bath Ruins, where I have rarely seen such a low tide--revealing a wide and wet sandy beach. One old codger with a camera, one fisherman without much luck, and a plethora of gulls.

The large banner photo just took my breath away…. Such clarity, charm and mystery cloud the photo that for a second I lost myself in its beauty and mist. It signals me towards a secret path untreaded and lurking in the midst of a thick forest. I’m in awe of the devotion with which you captured this moment Donald. It seems as if that moment is frozen in time. Amazing!
