No smoke. Ignore all that smog.

Composite of 10 photos.  Looking north from the lookout at about 1745 on Tuesday.  It was a bit hazy as the day wore on.  Click on the photo for a larger view.

You may be wondering:  “Why do we only see pictures looking north?”  Well, two reasons.  One:  It’s where the wildland fire danger is.  Most other areas are cooler/wetter (due to fog) or near population centers.  Two:  Fog covered most of Southern Marin on my first lookout watch day.  Maybe next time I’ll  have a clear view in all directons (with less smog/haze).  Then you might even see the Golden Gate Bridge or a real city or two.
