Fog rolling in

[Michael13]

Here's a shot of downtown Portland with fog totally obscuring the Willamette River. That's Mt. St. Helens in the distance.

C&C welcomed.

I like your viewpoint for a scene like this. Nice sunrise hues.

This fog banks roll right up the Columbia from the coast and spill over into all of the lower parts of the Columbia and Willamette River valleys. That almost always includes where I live. I can drive a couple of miles east from my house and the skies are clear while the sun never comes out over my house. Quite often the fog is over 400' above the ground so I can't fly high enough for a view like this.

This has an almost apocalyptic feel to it. Maybe go B&W to give it an imcoming doom and gloom?

It's a really incredible image!

So I take it that 400' AGL is the legal limit, or is that just in town? Just curious.

Not for this one - too much work to make those dirty clouds pop in BW.

400' above ground level is the FAA rule for a drone anywhere in the National Airspace. It is the case under Part 107 commercial drone pilot rules that things like buildings and utility towers count as a ground level and it is legal to go 400' above the tower or building.
