Seeing Through the Fog

I'm studying the Pacifica Pier from different angles to find interesting perspectives for new painted compositions. Just before sunset the fog softened the edges of the cement and wood pier in Pacifica. The far end disappeared into the fog and sea.


After darkness fell, the same image appeared more dramatic with cast shadows and an orange glow from the lamps.

I'm always fascinated by seeing how the same place appears different through the seasons, weather, and time of day. What places have you noticed dramatic differences?

From hiding in the fog to seeing through the fog...what does this transition mean to you?
