There’s a strange atmospheric phenomenon peculiar to our location halfway up the north-american coastline, something that has shaped the romantic atmosphere of san francisco since the very moment that it truly became a city. poems have been written about it, as well as songs and stories, and i aim to celebrate it too. you’ve probably caught on by now… it’s the san francisco fog.
it’s a vital component of what gives the city… well, how can i say it any more clearly: it’s an essential component of san francisco’s “atmosphere”. from the spooky alleys of film noir to shivering bonfires on the beach, the fog defines this city.
