Wake Me up When September Ends

Timeless

An apocalyptic sunrise lights up a new storm front entering the bay.

Often during a low fog event, the air above is really warm. We were in our T-shorts on this morning.

Battery Spencer

Usually Batter Spencer is covered with fog during these events. Every once in a while you can get a shot like this. This brief window opened up for less than a minute.

Morning Glory

Taken from Slacker Hill, this low fog event happened in July. Typically the fog is high during the summer months.

November's End

This was the scene on the last morning of November 2013. I had no idea that these extraordinary conditions were happening when I decided to head up for a "potential" low fog event. I knew there was fog off the coast the night before, but when I looked at the LHS cam at 3:15 a.m. it was obscured by fog. Sometimes the fog backs up into the East Bay giving the impression of high fog, and for a few reasons I didn't trust the webcam. I texted Yan, "Im rolling the dice, and heading up." She texted back, "O.K. I'm going too" I couldn't believe my eyes while driving across the bridge. The combination of the moon, high clouds, and deck level fog was something I had never seen before. For me, this was a really special event.

Wind Swept

Deck of Diamonds

Back on November 8th we had some fickle low fog. I was here at Battery Spencer with Andrew Louie before twilight, and we scored some nice deck level low fog. As the morning progressed the fog on western side of the bridge disappeared leaving the bay side filled with fog. It was as if the Golden Gate Bridge had trapped the fog inside the bay. Soon the winds switch again, and the fog reversed direction backing out towards the ocean. This shot somehow captured the perfect moment of the fog moving back out to sea producing this strange effect on the lights. When I looked at the thumbnails from the shoot I assumed the camera had moved creating this effect, and I was about to delete it when I noticed the bridge was in focus. The morning ended up being a success for all of us. It was really nice shooting along side Andrew, Nick, Willie , and Alan on this morning.
