Just to give you an idea of a different type of sunset we get here in LA, at least closer to the ocean. In the four years we have been here, I have seen dense fog like today mostly in the fall or late summer time. It moves on the land quickly and can linger on for days. But this fall was very strange with the rain that came early, and the unusual cold. So I guess the fall is a bit late... (Click on the picture to see what it looked like just minutes before)
I remember sitting on a beach one Sunday a few years back, in early September, talking on a phone to my husband who just left town for a business trip. I looked over to see Santa Monica mountains disappearing in the fog. In a few minutes the fog was all around me, and when I noticed that I cannot see where Ocean Park Blvd ends at the beach, I decided to go home. It felt really, oh well - spooky, for lack of a better word...
Actually, fog greeted us when we drove into Venice for the first time, on a Wednesday night in October of 2001. The fog did not lift until that Sunday morning. Spooky, but I like it...
