Through this whole series I kept hearing "A Hazy Shade of Winter" in my head. This was followed by the first line of Neuromancer by Wm. Gibson "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

Love all the fog photos, I do not get to see much fog, I am about 100 miles (160 km) from the continental divide.

Discovered this site about a month ago and have been spending waaaay too much time on it ever since. Thankfully I found a link to this page and the origin of the soap dispenser joke. It really is still funny.

Love the photography. Motts, you have a great eye for composition.

The latest news from Chicago is reporting a group of people held a slow boy and were torturing and abusing him live on FB.
That is the kind of abuse I endured 24/7 at the Essex County Emergency Children's Shelter and in this hospital to which it was attached.
