Sunset & Fog

I snapped this photo about a week ago. This is the view from our front yard - the cliff-side yard - looking out towards Ferndale. The fog here is ever changing and always enchanting. It's one of the reasons I moved (and remain) here. The last two years there has been far less fog than 10 years ago. Global warming? or natural fluctuation. The redwood trees get the majority of their water directly from the fog (moisture in the air), so they should survive this drought just as they have survived so many other droughts. It's one of the reasons I moved here - the water. Its also way my sinuses are so happy here - they like the damp, which means I can breathe!!! Its rather special to have such a great view, and I love photographing right from my front yard.
