~ Pea Soup ~

           

Got up this morning to get ready for work and was amazed when I looked outside.  I could not see the trees in my front lawn, cars in the drive, nothing.  NO it was not snowing, it was fog.  A fog so thick all I could think of was split pea soup.  I really didn't have time to do pictures before I left for work.  So I grabbed my camera on the way out the door thinking I could do some on the way.  I really didn't want to push my luck trying to take pictures as I drove and the highway is not the best place to stop to focus.  It mattered not.  The closer I got to the downtown area the clearer it was.  Oh well, I had my camera and it was so fitting and just my luck that there be nothing to take a picture of.   I got to work and began my day.  About 10ish some folks came in from outside and commented on how foggy is was.  I don't have a corner office with a window so I had no idea :)~  I did however grab my camera and head out front.  The picture in the top left is aiming to the left of the office door.  That street/stop light isn't but maybe a half block away.  The colored item is a metal sculpture in front of the subway (another entry) entrance you wouldn't know it is extremely bright.  You can barely see the building next door, and the rest, well they vanished.   The church steeple is across the street.  I could throw a stone and hit the front steps.  Well maybe not, I throw like a girl, but I wouldn't anyway.  Throw a stone I mean.  The bottom left is the sun.  Yes, the sun not the moon. I thought it looked so cool, and I could actually look at it without eye pain.  Next to that is to the right of the office entrance.  That street/stop light is a bit further away.  The Anchor Bar is on the corner there (top corner below the sun) but you'd never know it.  You've seen clearer pictures in previous entries and you may remember how clear those were.  If you look hard you can see the shadows of the cars at the light and the buildings along the street.  This, at 10 am.   The sun did finally burn it off and it turned into a nice day.  Blue sky with a few clouds and the temps in the 60's.

 

The day at work was uneventful and at quitting time I was glad to be out of there.  My office is not right in the heart of downtown, I am a bit north of the city.  I take Main St back towards downtown to the thruway entrance.  As I was driving down Main St I could see what looked like smoke.  I thought, oh shit what is burning.  It didn't take long to realize it wasn't anything burning but the left over fog that was hidden between the buildings.  I pulled off to the side of the road and grabbed a few shots.  The whole time thinking, who you gonna call....... ghost busters.  Ok, so I'm weird.   I am quite a distance but you can see the fog linger.  In the one shot where you see archways in the street, that is where the subway comes above ground and runs like a trolly.  You can see a bit of the architecture, but these shots no way do it justice.  When cars started beeping I decided it was time to get out of the street and move on.  Well, they really didn't beep, but I was in the road and thought I best move.  LOL   I tried to drive down closer to get shots, but amazingly enough while in the heart of the fog you couldn't even tell. 

 

 

       

 

I stopped at my sisters on my way home and brought her a milkshake.  She had her second treatment today and actually looked good.  Said she felt better this time around, but did sleep the afternoon away.  Then I went and did some pavement pounding.  I went to a few local establishments to see if they'd donate gift certificates and/or such for her benefit.   Her friends planned one to help with expenses and any travel that might be needed down the road for other medical things.  I was pretty successful and will do some more tomorrow.  They already have a ton of things, but the more the better.  By the time I got home I was drained.  I had a quick sandwich and then worked on the pictures.  No editing done other then to resize and make the collages.  It was so much fun doing them.  I will have to get some more pictures so you can actually see things, eh? 

 

Didn't make any animations or tags tonight, but I did have 'friends forever' for another entry but thought I would post it tonight.  I hope everyone had a great Tuesday..... and wishing you a good 'hump day'

 

Hugs
