Low-lying fog

looking south
looking southwest
looking west

I take my dog for a walk every morning, right before the sun comes up, and the other day I saw an unusual sight so I went back and got my camera. There was a low-lying fog on the ground all around where I lived. It covered the part of Dayton where the golf course is and the schools. It covered the area where the old section of town is, it was all around me, but it wasn’t where I was standing (near Pioneer Crossing Casino)… and it never did come into my area. I’ve lived here 13 years and I’ve never seen that before.

Friends of mine (Marcy Rawley and Jim Coyle) own a small ranch down in Yerrington. Marcy's got a great eye for taking photos and took this of the sun going down behind the Pine Nut mountains yesterday, Jan 11 2024.
Note the linear form of the fence, the road and ruts in snow....then there's the last 3/4 of the sun setting over the mountains to the west. Great composition.
