For what seems like an eternity, the Valley has been gloomy, overcast with dense morning fog, and with that damp, bone chilling cold that accompanies the fog this time of year. In contrast, communities in the foothills above 1000 feet have been enjoying the sunshine and warmer temperatures that serve to illustrate their slogan “above the fog and beneath the snow.” This past Friday evening, I briefly escaped the dank foggy cold and visited my friends Pam and Peter at their lovely 2100 foot elevation home in Foresthill for a gathering of board members of the Placer County Photography Club. When we arrived, the fog and overcast gave way to blue sky and sunshine, the likes of which I haven’t seen in weeks here. We actually saw color in the sky at sunset, not the drab gray that kept me from photographing the last full moon of the year. As the sun disappeared and the sky glowed red, we gathered on their deck and appreciated being above the fog.
We are honored to be included in your blog. Nice picture! Pam & Peter
