Fog Bound 1997

This is shot from the North Pier just as the sun was setting in June (I think). 

 About five minutes before I took this shot the beach was bathed in a beautiful golden light,   but  on the horizon was a low-lying cloud bank  making it's way inland.

After  about half an hour  the bank of  cloud  began creeping up the beach and obscuring the sun's rays, bathing everything in a sinister sulphur yellow and shooing everyone away .

Below the last  family is making their way off the beach. You can just see their long shadows on the sand,  and  above them the ferris wheel is barely visible in the fog.

Apparently it's  a seldom  witnessed phenomenon.
