A picture of the fog rolling in across a cityscape at night, with the moon and the fraternal twin spires of Saint Paul's Catholic Church in the center of the picture. The fog, locally known as Karl, has obscured the view of Bernal Heights as it creeps across the city. Add: Karl, contrary to the poem, does not come in on little cat feet. It wears hiking boots and it moves quite quickly. 15 minutes after this picture was taken, the cityscape was completely hidden behind a wet gray blanket.

We've been having a lot of unseasonably perfect weather these last few weeks. Blue skies, nice temperatures... all that boring crap instead of our usual cold and foggy days.
Anyway... last night, around 11:30, Chris shouted that the fog was back so I grabbed my camera and joined him on the side deck. It was pretty dark out there so I didn't expect to get anything decent - not without a tripod and remote shutter - but I was surprised. The picture just needed a little noise reduction and a tiny bit of that thing you do with the curves.
So here's the fog, at 79 mm, f/3.2, ISO 6400, for 1/10 of a second, handheld.
