The morning this was taken, I woke up in Fort Bragg under such heavy coastal fog that it was actually drizzling. Those of us that have lived along or near the coast know what I mean. Yet just a few miles inland, the state was under an Indian Summer heat wave with crystal blue skies. As I left Fort Bragg and headed south towards home along Highway 1, I eventually broke through the all-obscuring fog, and was rewarded with this scene coming around a corner. Yeah, like I wasn’t gonna stop and take a picture.
