Charleston under valley fog

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

Taking a break from the snow forecast post for some overnight valley fog, viewed from up on the ridge behind the house tonight. The whole mass of clouds was flowing down the valley and changing shapes, if I have time later I'll assemble some frame sequence animations. If I can get myself out of bed early enough I'll have some sunrise versions of these later. (EDIT: I woke up at sunrise to find that the fog had thinned considerably. So no daylight pictures this time.)

Very, very cool shots Dan!

Thanks Dann, this only happens a few times a year - it takes a delicate balance of dewpoints and valley/ridge temperature differences to get it.
