Geese take flight in dawn Central Valley tule fog
The sensory experience of arriving at a place like this is remarkable. To understand you need to consider how it begins — a wake-up call at 3:00 or 3:30, a very quick cup of coffee, gear tossed into my vehicle, and departure for a two-hour drive in darkness out into California's Great Central Valley. Most of the drive is on high-speed roads, at least until I get close to my destination, where I frequently encounter very thick winter tule fog — treacherous driving conditions that may force me to drop my speed to 20 mph or slower as I stare into the foggy darkness. Finally I arrive, pass through an entrance gate, and drive to a parking area and turn off the engine.
I open the door. The air is cold and damp. It is still and it would be silent... but for the wild calls of thousands of geese and cranes and other birds, often concealed behind the fog. In an instant I switch from my high-speed world cocooned in my heated vehicle to an entirely different world of fog, cold air, and the birds. Often I can't help by smile when I hear the wild calls of those birds, and sometimes I almost laugh out loud. On this morning the fog thinned just a bit when I arrived, and it was possible to make out flocks of geese rising from ponds not far away as the first color came to the morning sky.

Fog from open water on the North Saskatchewan drifting under the new Walterdale Bridge. The fog didn't last long, it thinned out a few minutes later.
7 PM: A low local fog at twilight diffused the yellow glow of lights along the trail and made everything magical.

The fog covered the sun so quickly this afternoon, it went dark really quick.. slight eeriness to it.
The fog comes
On little cat feet.
It sits looking
Over harbor and city
On silent haunches
And then moves on.

The Columbia River Gorge was full of fog! This is the Washington side, as I prefer to take Hwy 14, instead of Interstate 84 in Oregon. Less trucks, more scenic. I'm just not a fan of interstates when traveling for leisure.
Today we had an incredible view on a foggy Lauretana Road, the "strada delle Crete" from Siena to Asciano. Here i was in Vescona, Asciano, Siena, Tuscany, Italy.

...after we dropped the dog off, the sun was coming up, so I made him stop the car again. I wish we hadn't been in a hurry, because the fog started doing this great layering thing about five minutes after I took this photo as the sun starting burning it off.

This morning while waiting for the fog to clear for a real estate shoot I flew up over Hellam Hills in York, PA to get this beautiful view just up above the fog.

The Ben Franklin bridge was swallowed in a dense fog on this early December morning. The city of Philadelphia was not at all visible, it was a very eerie site to see.

North Shore, Fog. Point Lobos State Reserve, California. July 18, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A foggy morning along the north shore cliffs of Point Lobos
In mid-July I managed to get to Point Lobos State Reserve, south of Carmel, on two occasions during the same week. It stayed foggy the entire time on the first visit, but on the second it began to clear back from the coast by mid-morning, and fog-softened light was present here as I walked along the north shore of the park. (Oddly, it was foggy inland as the area right along the coast began to clear.)
The photograph appears to show a clear view across water and into a cove where with steep rocks and tall trees at its head. In fact, my shooting position is quite covered with trees, and it was a bit of a trick to find a spot with a clear view like this. At the point at which I made the photograph the fog was still there, though it was beginning to thin a bit, and some soft light was beginning to make its way through the murk.
