St. Louis Man Captured Epic Fog Photo on His Phone

[SaintLouisBlues]

?cb=1669646015
Dense fog blanketed St. Louis on Saturday as Patterson's plane flew over the city — so much so that Patterson's flight had to divert to Kansas City to wait for the fog to lift.

But in the meantime, Patterson, who dabbles in photography as a hobby, snapped the most otherworldly pic of St. Louis on his phone.

It's a view of St. Louis as most have never seen it before. Patterson's picture shows only the city's tallest buildings peeping through Saturday's fog, as if the city ascended into a sea of clouds.

11. I'm even worse...at first glance I thought it said "epic DOG photo"!

[Maraya1969]

14. I bet if we could look through the fog we would see several dogs and frogs!!!

4. I'd been driving into Cleveland Ohio

pretty often in 2019 and I loved seeing the city come into view as I drove down Broadview Road into the valley. I was driving in early one day, and fog had entirely enveloped the city. It was like it had been erased. No pictures, just the memory of a cityscape, missing.

Thanks for the reminder

7. Looks like high water.

After the icecaps melt.

8. Stay tuned...

9. I was just up in the arch a few months ago.

I bet they got some awesome pics from there too!

10. Same situation once in college......

in a dorm room up on the 'bluff' of Pittsburgh - Duquesne University - and a fog was covering all of downtown - except the new U.S. Steel building - standing out there in the midst of nothing but a blanket of fog. Obviously a moment and view to never forget.

GREAT PICTURE - thanks for posting...............

13. If it weren't for the arch in the upper left hand corner,

I would have mistaken it for Denver the day after marijuana was legalized in Colorado.

24. That made me laugh!

Well done

16. I've spent a lot of time in holding patterns going into KSTL ..

Such is the nature of Mississippi river ground fog. You can see stuff through it, and sticking up above it .. but RVR (runway visual range) is zero. I'd usually get in, when the vis improved slightly, flying a Cat-3 autoland approach. But sometimes it was off to the alternate .. usually KMCI (Kansas City).

17. Bee-yootiful. That is exceptional... and very lucky!!

19. fooooooo og. fooooo og. fooooo og.

[yardwork]

20. It really does look other worldly.

[nightwing1240]

23. Wow!

Simply wow! Thank you for sharing this! Looks like something straight outta sci fi

25. I had a flight out of Philly one 4th of July.

We took off at dusk when the fireworks were starting. It was very cool.

[GreenWave]

26. Harbinger of total ice cap melt?

Although at 600 feet of elevation, St. Louis should be "in the clear" .

[Martin68]

27. Looks like a preview of global warming sea level rise...

[murielm99]

28. Beautiful.

[orleans]

[SWBTATTReg]

30. Wow. A neat picture! I'm a STLMO native, so this picture is a really neat treat! Thanks!

It just goes to show how small Mankind is when compared to Mother Nature.
