More ominous fog descends on downtown Boston

Tom O'Keefe captures the scene from the 70-Smoot marker on the Mass. Ave. Bridge this morning.

Most impressive fog

Gloom

The gloom approaches, as seen from the bridge crossing over the train tracks in Readville.

Around 6:30 or so, I was in Readville, where you could get a very nice view of the this big gray/black blob enveloping downtown - or at least, where downtown was supposed to be - even as the sky over Readville was still mostly blue (with some thunderhead-like clouds building up to the south). Almost looked more like smoke from a huge fire than clouds. Went shopping at the Hyde Park Shaw's (alert Steve Garfield: Looks like they're getting ready to change some of the aisles around!), by the time I got out, around 7, the gloom had enveloped Hyde Park and Roslindale. Wasn't particularly dense, but, man, did it make everything sticky.

Into the murk

Fog

Yeah, it's just the big microwave tower behind the Dunkin' Donuts and soon-to-be CVS at Washington Street and the West Roxbury Parkway in Roslindale. What's unusual about the photo is that I was basically right across the street from it when I took it, around 4:30 p.m., when the fog was dropping out of the sky like an unraveling roll of cotton gauze.

June rolls out, July rolls in

Jimbo posts a couple of photos of the fog along the East Boston waterfront, recounts his visit to Constitution Beach yesterday:

... Today I stopped by the beach (Shay's if you grew up here, Constitution if you didn't) and found the lifeguard chairs empty. There was no one there to guard. Some small children were in the play area, and three had ventured onto the sand to make a sandcastle. ...

Today would be a good day to evolve sense of echolocation

What is this, San Francisco all of a sudden?
