A monster rises from the mist....

About noon it was still Very foggy, and I stopped by golden pond to relax and eat a little lunch.

Then a monster began to rise from the mist:

Fog this late in the day was a surprise

Moving closer began to show definition:

This monster is huge!

Still in the muck:

This bodes poorly for driving today!

Now it is here:

Within half a block:

This is no tiny thing, hundreds of feet high!

All pictures taken within a quarter mIle distance. Golden pond that I usually photograph, is off to the left on most of these pictures! It was quieter than normal due to the fog, almost surreal. The fog is mostly burned off by now, but it's seldom this slow.

It was extra quiet and the relax time was restorative.
