    Re: The June Gloom

    I'm just using the description my Los Angeleno friends use to describe seasonal coastal overcast
    Now the tule fog Drew mentioned, that's treacherous stuff. I doubt if there is anyone in my town who doesn't personally know of at least one person involved in a tule fog fatality.

    Far from the Americas, here in Wales [Europe] we're stuck, seemingly most of the time, with grey 20:20 overcast . Occasionally we do get a fret (sea mist/fog) that can be very dangerous at sea when inshore. But on shore the fret is just a wet smothering blanket.

    Also we do not have the predictability of atmospheric fogs, mentioned above, that I've experienced in the west coast of North America - so the photographic opportunities are rare.

    regards

    I was in the the SE UK & Paris to Burgundy France in Nov. & Dec. and loved the overcast. We went there with that in mind. And I love the images I was able to make. Here in SoCal it's sunny most of the time & I struggle to find windows to shoot in unusual weather conditions & at twilight.

    Mark, just stay on the west side of the San Andreas fault and you can ride a tectonic plate to our fog belt up here. It only took 7.7 million years for a slice of
    Santa Monica to become a finger of Pt Reyes.
