Why Living in the San Francisco area is so great - Reason #3

"The fog comes on little cat feet ...."
This January morning is a good example of just how quickly the weather changes. This first picture was taken around 7:30 AM. You can see the top of Mount Tamalpais on the left, Tiburon in the middle, and Angel Island on the right:

fog over San Francisco Bay

By 8:10 AM the view had changed to this, with just a hint of Mt. Tam showing:

Last shot, at 8:33 AM:

Absolutely beautiful! The ephemeral nature helps one focus on the present, and enjoy what IS.

Carl Sandberg's poem says it best:

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
