It really is breathtaking. In Vermont — I’m not making this up — they have to pay an extra tax for “beautiful viewing.” If you have an exceptional view, they add anywhere from 5 – 25% extra taxes on your house. So who judges how beautiful your view is? Do they have a specialist who has a catalog of possible “views”?
A beautiful view tax!?!? Boy, I wish we had this in Illinois… I think most of the people in my city would be getting paid BY the state for the dismal view we have of the steel plants and refineries around here. Oh, and no mist…. but the smog is really pretty this time of the year!
I love early morning mist. In the mountain valleys and along the ocean. And yes, as soon as the sun comes up, it burns away the mist and the skies are blue and bright.
We get them here too in the Huon Valley. I always remember the comment of a local bus driver when we climbed out of the valley one morning and it was all spread out below us “just like a great big doona.”

That was maybe 8 in the morning? Not bad. It was October, so sunrise is around 7 anyway. Earlier than that, it’s just dark.

I’ve seen that in certain parts of Africa. It really is quite magical.

I love it when the fog starts to clear from the hills — or when the fog spills over the hills on its way in! Such a surreal view!

Lovely place, morning mist is special and often clears away to beautiful blue skies and a sunny day.
