London Fog

The last couple of mornings have been extremely foggy. However, the fog has burned off and it’s become very lovely. As luck would have it, I thought about an interesting compare and contrast photo and whipped out my camera on my way to the bus stop yesterday morning. Let’s compare shall we:

Normal (slightly overcast and rainy) weather

Slightly foggy 🙂

I saw a picture in one of those horrible free dailys always floating around town where someone managed to get a photo from an airplane in which the entire city was socked in except the tall buildings in Canary Wharf. Pretty cool.

    Sounds like a great title for a song. “A Foggy Day in London Town”.

    I was a stranger in the city
    Out of town were the people I knew
    I had that feeling of self-pity
    What to do? What to do? What to do?
    The outlook was decidedly blue
    But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
    It turned out to be the luckiest day I’ve known

    A foggy day in London Town
    Had me low and had me down
    I viewed the morning with alarm
    The British Museum had lost its charm
    How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
    But the age of miracles hadn’t passed,
    For, suddenly, I saw you there
    And through foggy London Town
    The sun was shining everywhere.
