Hazy shade of winter indeed

This morning I work up at 8:30 a.m. to the honking -- not of geese or car horns -- but of fog horns -- slow, sonorous sounds; prehistoric; soothing... When I woke up again two hours later the fog horns were still sounding off. Too many just for False Creek I thought. Given the way fog can work on sound I might have been hearing horns from as far away as the Burrard Inlet on the north side of downtown Vancouver.
