A Clutter Of Buildings and Signs Greets the Traveler As Is Typical of Most USA Towns and Cities.
“The grey rainy skies and sign-strewn road descend to Crescent City, California, …. “(Cont.Next)
Entrance to Crescent City, CA. The Narrator’s “view” of this town, literally, emotionally, and figuratively, is colored by his recall of Phaedrus’ feelings concerning Chicago: Phaedrus’ negative reaction to the topic of Aristotle, his views on the teaching methods, and his physical surroundings there. Unfortunately, I was unable to photograph the Narrator’s gloomy foggy rainy scenes. Except for some costal fog, I experience good weather while I was In California. Consequently, my photos do not show the Narrator’s “grey rainy skies“. However the Narrator’s bad weather is common along the coastal areas of California Grey skies often happen when the coastal fog is hanging over the relatively cool Pacific Ocean edge. This fog often extends 20-40 miles inland. Without the fog, the coast would be similar to the interior California, where the norm is sunshine every day with the semi-arid landscapes. During these coastal fog conditions, on an otherwise sunny day, the thin penetrating heat from sun will lift the fog well up off the ground This condition is experienced as overcast grey skies. While driving the coast ahead, I did experience the full range of fog conditions, to varying degrees. Pay attention, you will see this range of fog conditions, in my up coming photos. The Narrator also mentions how they experienced the always changing conditions of this “Coastal California Fog”. New Topic: As I drove into Crescent City, CA, I did my best to get a good photo of an awful “sign-strewn road“ Crescent City must have cleaned things up a bit, because this photo is the best I could do for a “sign-strewn road“.
