Many mornings before work, I bike the rough dirt road up to the top of Mt. McGroarty that overlooks the Crescenta Valley. Depending on the season, the  hour of sunrise and my timing,  the view of "The Morning"  from the top can hold many surprises.  Often times I curse myself for not having my camera.  But this time I was able to catch a very surreal scene.

The deep inflow of the ocean fog had blanketed our valley overnight, but had not yet vanished with the rising morning sun.   Looking down in to the gray, I knew that my drive to work would hold the opposite view below the foggy surface.
