October 5, 2020 — San Francisco Bay, California
The fog deck hung fully over the bay. Nothing more to say except that this could have been taken at 900 feet — which it was — or 30,000 feet. It would’ve looked the same either way.

PS — I’m getting disentangled from other activities and I shall return to regular blogging and to reading blogs soon.

Hi Michael,
Conflicted about this image. I like the differentiation of the sea of cloud vs. the sea thru the horizon line (undulated). Your “sea” horizon lines are powerful because of the details you create in the water. In this image, you lost me on the “puffiness” of the clouds. Would like to see the same subtleties that you create in the sea.

I clicked the link for your name above the comment but was taken to a window that said not found, Oliver. I did Google your site and enjoyed looking through your images. Steve

That’s extremely odd. I wonder if you and Oliver were both trying to comment at the same time and somehow the server got you mixed up. It’s always better to look at the picture on the actual site. Reproduction is better.

Thanks. I got it by pasting it from his info at the bottom of the comment. I just mentioned it in case he wished to fix it.

Thanks very much, Oliver. There is a razor-thin line between too much and too little on this one. More tweaking is needed apparently.

Generally I’d expect to see some indication of the perspective but the fog there was obviously so vast that I can’t tell where you might have been standing. As you say, elevated or at sea level can’t be discerned. There is much subtlety here.
Looking forward to the results of your project…and your return to more regular blog activity.

Thanks very much. The altitude ambiguity is something that I’ve noticed looking at the tops of the fog decks for a long time. I’m looking forward to being a regular blogger again. But I will be posting more frequently. I’ll be posting pictures that are not part of the project for a while.

I’m not accustomed to thinking of fog as a deck. At some point people must not have been used to conceiving a pack of playing cards as a deck, either. Your photograph is only minimally decked out in details.

Cloud deck is another expression for cloud layer. Meteorological term. All fog is, is a low cloud.

The extreme, pale minimalism here seems to play tricks with my eyes, which happens in bright fog, too. I think I see a hint of magenta on the left and cooler tones on the right but who knows? It’s all very shifty. 😉

Thank you. It is. It was an experiment, I’m going, I’ve just had minimal can I get? It’s worth work in progress. I may post a different version of it at some point.
