Postcard From the Sticks

Last week, a foggy morning on the way to work, a nice little ride across the far east end of the Penn State campus at University Park.  On days like this a Vespa makes life a little sweeter…

    Beautiful photo, I like the placement of the Vespa and the tree. And the fog looks like our weather today except we have white stuff falling from the sky…

    Steve:

    I love your Misty photos. I think we are out of our foggy season until later in the Fall

    Sure looks like Winter, dull & grey, except that someone placed a clean bright scooter in the frame beside the drunk tree

    I like the way the fog silhouettes the nearby tree.

    RichardM: We can have fog any month of the year though early spring through late spring seems to be the best chance for it.

    The weather here is a far cry from what you and Dom are dealing with. Warm now. I’m riding already with my summer mesh jacket…

    bob skoot: Fog and mist fix any picture. It’s the great equalizer when trying to make something out of nothing.

    Clean bright scooter. That’s funny. There’s a reason why I don’t show it in close ups!

    Charlie6 (dom): You’re just being polite. Looking at your almost daily pictures from Alaska I’m just astounded at what you’re seeing. And your photography is improving along with you experiences on the road. Really good stuff.

    Now you just need a few foggy days up there…

    Hi Steve

    fog we have here in Valdez…I am told by everyone there’s mountains around us, but I’ve not seen them for the fog and rain and mist and, well, you get the idea…..

    Charlie6 (dom): Alaska has it all. Make sure you get home before the mosquitoes and Black Flies come out!
