Colorado is a state of the sun... I mean we have more sunny days
than gloomy days and the fog is always an unexpected guest. At least in
the city of Denver... I guess people living in the mountains won't agree
with me and can tell they have fog or clouds on the ground often... But
for us, who live in the middle of the big city in the foothills, the
fog is a rare and pleasant surprise...
This Saturday I planned to go up to the mountains for a quick hike
and almost turned back, because when I left I-25 and turned toward the
mountains I realized that everything was covered by a thick layer of
fog... I am glad I didn't listen to my internal voice and kept
driving... Everything looked really faded down the road, like someone
put the veil on the mountain slopes in an attempt to hide them (not a
very successful attempt I guess).
The views became even more intriguing when I drove up to the mountain road, weaved between tall trees and stopped at the openings to look between the trees in hope to see what was hidden down the slopes...
By the way, there wasn't any hike that day ;) At a certain point I
decided to turn back and not continue on this dirty and dusty road... Maybe next
time?
