Sausalito Sunrise Fogged Over (+1 more in comments)

G o l d e n H o u r

 

This morning I went to Sausalito to watch the sun rise. I had my doubts, and expected heavy fog -but I figure it would still be nice to watch the sun rise. I have not done that in a long time. Plus, taking pictures during blue hour is nice, but golden hour -mmm, golden hour.

 

A couple months back I came to this same place -Ah, Sausalito revisited.

 

My alarm went off at 5AM. I did not even hit the snooze button. I packed my things in to the trunk of my car and headed to my local donut shop. Picked myself up a sugar donut for me to indulge in later while I wait for the sun rise. I did rack up some karma coins though (Thanks Seo!). On my way out of the shop I looked at the change I had crumpled in my hand. Something was not right. I did a quick mind squeezing calculation in my head.

Donut: $0.85

Tendered: $ $10.00

Change: $19.15

I returned the excess money to the cashier. He was pretty thankful.

 

As I made my way over the Golden Gate Bridge it became clear that yes, there is going to be fog. A lot of it. I didn't count myself out quite yet. It was a nice, and leisurely drive along "Historic Sausalito."

 

I spent the next hour and a half patiently waiting for the sun to make it's debut for the day. I ate that sugar donut I picked up earlier. Wonderful. Even though my arteries probably clogged a little :) I spent the rest of my time lounging on the dock. And yet again, I found myself without a flashlight. It were a bit creepy when I couldn't see anything. Near pitch black except for some small ankle level lamps every 30ft or so.

 

Sure enough, at 7:05 the sun showed itself. Well, kind of. There was fog. I could feel the sun trying to push past the fog ... "I'm here ... I'm here!!!" But it could have been worse. So that said, I'm glad I got to see what I did. It was nice. Cold though.

 

The tide was significantly lower this time around when compared to the last time I came -it was interesting to see the pilings in a slightly different manner.

 

I'll try this again when the weather is a bit more cooperative.
