2 December 2024 – Fog & sun & withdrawals & advances & teases & full glory.
And a few crows.
Let’s set a benchmark. Let’s pick the view on November 28, when the weather chose to beam her sparkling charm in all directions. At 8:08 am, the rising sun bounced off east-facing towers…
and flooded downtown Vancouver, the North Shore and those Coast Mountains with light.
This morning — and, at 8:26, only minutes later in the day — the view is very different.
Fog. With about a block and a half of visibility. As for mountains… What mountains?
A crow waits it out.
Bit of a breakthrough, at 8:50…
largely withdrawn, by 9:41…
though a new line of light opens up at 9:48…
and tempts this crow (presumably equipped with GPS) to take flight on eastward.
His instincts are good.
By 10:37 the clouds are wispy and the haze is beating a retreat.
At 2:52 pm, it’s full sunshine, everywhere you look.
Look while you can. Sunset is barely an hour away.

/ 2 December 2024I initially misread your title and thought that it said “Baloney Peekaboo,” which had me greatly intrigued and thinking you might be doing a piece on how Pierre Poilievre has accused Trudeau of breaking all of our precious baloney. 😉 I was both disappointed and relieved to discover that that’s not the case!

/ 3 December 2024I’m not Icelandic — the nickname & URL date from the start of this blog in 2011, when it was set up as part of my fundraising for an Arthritis Society of Canada charity trek in Iceland; I first called the blog The Sagas of Iceland Penny, and when after the 2012 trek I continued to walk a lot and decided to keep on blogging, I also changed the blog name but not my nickname or the URL; I hope you are not too disappointed! Like you, I respond to the nature of Iceland people and the beauty of Iceland itself — but now I walk elsewhere…
