Highway Stage

This weekend I made a trip back home, 4/5 hours away in Atascadero. I left Irvine around 4:30, so most of my trip was in the dark. Just before sunset, this heavy fog settled in around LA, and at first I thought it was smog so I didn't think to much of it. But, as I grew more tired, and the sky got darker, the fog started to affect the road in a very interesting way. The orange street lamp lights were shining most of the way, and because of the fog the poles of the lamps were barely visible (This picture was not taken by me, because I was driving, but it pretty much is the same thing but blue). So, what appeared to me was floating orange lights, like specials or LEKOs, lighting my way. Because the poles were not visible, and the fog pretty much put everything into a blur, I felt like I was driving inside a gigantic theater, and that there were lights focusing on me. So that was pretty cool, seeing an external form of theater. More than that, the lights from mine and all of the other cars reflected off of the fog. This made the entire sky, or the "backdrop," if you will, appear a solid, faded white color. Like a cyc! When I would pass a police car, the cyc would turn blue and red. It was a very cool experience, and made my drive special.
