One of the most noted accompanyments to the city is the fog. To some it lends a certain romanticism to the city. To others it just another dreary day. At night, the fog lends a glow to light sources casting long undefined shadows. Small pockets of light adorn the streets and avenues. Orbs of mist pass at speed down major thoroughfares.
It can be dramatic as it climbs over mountains and hills and cascades down the backside. The way it pushes undaunted through the Golden Gate Bridge as it stands sentry at the mouth of the bay. For many it connotates doom and gloom as it usually blocks out sunlight to create a gray day. For the city of Pacifica, to the south, it is annually celebrated with a street fair called Fog Fest.
