Just beautiful, don't ever ruin it by adding color.

Very nice. Looks like a ship on a sea of fog. It would be great if there was a bit more detail to the fog, but a great shot.

Great capture of the city. The fog bank gives the buildings the perspective of being almost architecture model scale.

mebooyou says:

Great shot, but to me it's not beautiful, it's dreadful( although it is a fantastic photo)!. It represent how horrific the fog is here. I try to explain it to my friends in B.C(who think they have an idea of what fog really is) and I fail miserabley. I think this photo can say more than hours of my complaining!

Longterm locals alway talk about the beauty of the fog(it's called denial/transference/whatever). I guess I'll never be a real local because I'd rather these clouds a few thousand feet higher. I guess with all the wierd fetishes these days I shouldn't be too surprised at the san franciscan's fog fetish! haha
