Sorlil: If the weather forecasts are right (but are they ever?), I may as well be in Scotland all week. But I like this kind of weather. I'd usually chose fog over sunshine ... something morbid about that, perhaps.
Quite fond of fog myself (the yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes...). But we don't get many days of sunshine here so I've got to make the most of it when we do!
I'm very close to Lake Michigan, so we get lots of "lake effect" weather that can be dramaticaly different from the rest of the state. There was a huge munitions factory just a few miles from here during the second World War--- supposedly, they chose the location because we have more days of overcast and fog and rain than anywhere else in the Eastern half of the country, the theory being that this would discourage bombing raids.

Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.
... that a whole world of lament arose, in which
all nature reappeared: forest and valley,
road and village, field and stream and animal;
and that around this lament-world, even as
around the other earth, a sun revolved
and a silent, star-filled heaven, a lament-
heaven, with its own, disfigured stars ...
Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.

Looks much the same as Scotland today! Looking forward to the rest of the pics - I'm nosey about that kind of thing!

I've always believed I'd like it there...
