the fog

Coming back into Sokcho from our little 600 kilometer road trip last Tuesday, we were surprised to see our entire town, and the sea beyond, covered with fine, puffy white clouds.
When you get through Miseyrong tunnel, just to the west of Sokcho, you are about a thousand feet above sea level and can usually see the entire sea plain and ocean in front of Sokcho. Usually it is a great view of the city lights and squid boats bobbing on the ocean, you can usually see quite a long way.
Today, as we broke through the tunnel, imagine our surprise when the only thing we could see was this huge puff of cloud over our city. Cars were stopping all along the road to take pictures of what was an incredible sight.
Pictures.
1. Normally looking this way you would see the lights of Sokcho and the ocean beyond, now the road just disappears into the fog
