Mom sent us this picture that she took a few weeks ago. They were here in town, and we took a riverboat cruise on the Tennessee River. This is a picture of Lookout Mountain in the fog. Just to the left of the mountain is where our neighborhood is. The fog can get pretty thick here. Some mornings I'll wake up, look out the kitchen window, and not even see the top of the mountain. On days like that, campus can be pretty moody:
This is a picture off the webcam from today. The fog gets really thick, and often the building I'm walking to won't even be visible until I'm pretty close to it.
Some days, though, I'll wake up, look at the fog, groan about what it must be like at the top, and then find something entirely different up there. The fog will settle down around the mountains and ridges, and when I get to the part of my drive when I'm at the top of the mountain and there's a big overlook, I can't believe how beautiful it is. I've never managed to get a picture (something about driving 40 mph while turning quite close to a cliff doesn't scream "take a picture..."), but I did find a school blog that had a few pictures:
