6-8-14 dawn

Good Sunday morning.

Beautiful cool morning on the bluff after a rainy night.   Some nice fog in the cove.  Wish I had brought my camera but had to settle for a cell phone photo...
Time lapse video below...

Some fog in the center of Lost Cove came to a peak and caught the sunrise.   A fognado, or fog-volcano?
