Marine Layer Moving In

We've had a number of great sunny warm days here. In San Francisco, that almost always is followed by the onrush of fog, which we lovingly call Marine Layer.

For the next few days, it will be cooler and cloudier.

Oh yeah, there will be far fewer high performance jets performing spectacular stunts in the skies above the city -- fleet week is over until next year.

My trip up the hill

I wanted to take a picture of the marine layer creating this monster over the top of the coastal range in the distance. It reminded me of that old horror pic "The Fog" and I've always found this time of year interesting because of it.





So, I treked up the hill to find a good place to take a clean shot. I ended up right next to the South San Francisco "Wind Harp"





This thing is a 90' high sculpture on the top of a hill. It is an Aeolian Wind Harp and more info can be found at this web site



It makes a truly odd, but very subtle sound. The website above has an "ogg" file that tries to capture the sound, but it can't because of the sound of the wind itself.
