Is there anything more iconic than the Golden Gate bridge in the fog? I think not!
I drove over to San Francisco to spend the day with little Willie… uh… and his parents, of course… and I couldn’t resist taking some pictures while I was driving….
Don’t try this at home kids. Driving in fog and rain showers while taking pictures is stupid. But I was a professional driver… see my hilarious ‘Driving Miss Crazy stories…
Also, I have the speedy reaction time of a ninja ocelot.
But it was still pretty stupid.
I love the way the parts of the bridge loom out of the fog at you, and seem to disappear up into nothingness.
But best of all, these pictures mean that we are getting closer to the pictures of little Willie.









I know your disdain for my dumping video links on you whiny baby, but do I have a real treat for you. It was on Delightful Oak’s blog. Enjoy: http://vimeo.com/69445362.
Now that was freekin’ cool… thanks… no more whining…
Didn’t have time to check out his other stuff yet. Knew you’d like it. Don’t you just love the time lapse of the fog just rolling rolling over that mountain an pouiring into the valley? Looks like waterfall of fog.
I used to watch that stuff for hours… walk in it, drive in it… the cemetery where we used to hang out gets these ground fogs where just the tops of the tombstones stick out.
Can you imagine standing on Alcatraz in that kind of fog and allowing yourself to believe that you are on the only piece of dry land in all of the world and all beyond is a mystery.
Been there… done that…
That’s scary, can;t see far at all. Reminds me of when I was in Australia, the rain was coming down so hard we couldn’t see ahead of us on the highway. (I would say motorway but Australia adopted Americanisms)
The whole world will become us… as soon as all the McDonald’s are in place!
That’s what all your spying has been about
We just want to bring pink slime to the world… is that so wrong?
If it’s pink it is
Ok.
Happy 4th Arthur. I’ve been nominated in an X Factor type show to be the one to come over and take you all over again. I’ll be round about 4.30pm.
We will get the tea, crumpets and bayonets ready!
It’s on!
A trout is my weapon off choice
Trout, trout, let it all out.
Don’t go all 80’s on me.
Not me… I hated them.
yeah, musically for me 70’s had it, I was born then so I can count it. Most bands that influenced me were 80’s but on the alternative scene, but they were mainly paying homage to the 70’s various musical movements
The 80s are where music went to die…
And got covered in leg warmers and hairspray
Man, ain’t that the truth.
Reblogged this on thisoldtoad.
Lets do it again! I like surprises….
Okay then.
I like the fact that on a four-lane highway, with nothing else on it, you’re driving in the third lane! But who am I to question the ways of the ninja ocelot…?
There were lots of other cars on it… and the traffic goes both ways…
I’ve got a friend like that.
I live in California… most of my friends do that…
C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A…excellent, flight booked.
You really should do that.
If I had the money I would; the times I have been were brilliant.
And you didn’t even get to hang out with me.
I know! The things I missed out on…if only I’d discovered blogging earlier.
Me too.
WOW. Fog is so mysterious – and you took some great bridge shots, ninja ocelot.
Thank you. Those almost took themselves… except for the danger…
What is life without danger!…wait – that line only works in movies….
I used to believe that… hence the many near-death experiences…
nothing like that adrenaline rush…and good brakes/seat belts/ air bags…
(Hey get off that wire over the Grand Canyon – so yesterday’s thrill)
It’s hard to think of new ways to almost die, but I do it.
can’t stop a creative mind
It just takes a knack.
not a knock-knock. (no joke)
Knock knock…
Who’s there?
I gotta make up…
I gotta make up who?
The bathroom is right over there…
(say it out loud, it will make sense… that joke kills with 13-year-olds)
sadly it did make sense the first time!
Ha.
I’m going to tell you the same thing I told Hotspur – don’t do anything but drive when behind the wheel of your car! You can listen to the radio, but nothing else but drive. Love the pics but not the way you got them! Tsk, tsk!
I should have know better.
To paraphrase John Rhys-Davies, “ninja ocelots… very dangerous.”
No way… we make awesome pets.
Whoa! Those perspectives make me dizzy! *passes out and falls to floor*
My lawyers say the small print covers that, so don’t waste your time trying to sue me… also, I have no money, so…
Fear not, O Sassy One. I don’t do the lawyer thing. Peace.
I have to keep the lawyers happy.
