A Piece from The Year of Fog

March 18, 2008 by Darlene

I love Michelle Richmond’s description of the fog. It rings so true and just sounds beautiful to me. It really captures the essence of fog beautifully.

“the fog, its dramatic presence, the way it deadens sound. The way it simply stops, rather than fading, opaque whiteness suddently giving way to clarity. Crossing from fog into sunlight, one has the feeling of having emerged. Traveling in the other direction is like sinking into a mysterious, fairy-tale abyss”

    Thank you, Dar! I appreciate the props. I think fog-lovers are a very specific breed. A lot of people in San Fran complain about the fog, but I think it’s beautiful! If we ever move, I’ll really miss it.
