IT WAS A FOGGY, FOGGY NIGHT

I saw this shot from my deck the other day and immediately thought of The Doors song, RIDERS ON THE STORM.
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
A actor out alone
Riders on the storm.
The rest of the lyrics are rather strange, regardless, the title seems to fit this photo even if the words don't. Any thoughts?

  2. Are those sailboats out there? Hope they don't bump into each other in the fog!

  3. I don't think I want to be out on the water in the fog.

  4. Funny, I wouldn't have associated this with the Doors. Nice deck view by the way.

  9. Wonderful capture. Those sailboats are almost surreal. From the looks of it, you must still be up north. Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks the lyrics to that song are a bit odd.

  10. B2, it fits a marvelous photo. Except the riders have lots of company. Thanks for the reminder of the Doors and their music, once upon a time a favorite of mine though the occasions of listening are also a little foggy!

  16. Definitely looks foggy to me. I hear the weather is going to get warmer here again so it probably will where you are too. I was hoping the oppressive heat was over for this year!

  17. It is really nice to have a Flac (never an mp3!) of the song at hand. Looking at the picture I get your idea...

  18. How do they keep from bumping into each other out there?

  19. They look like ghost ships, which seems appropriate in a Jim Morrison sort of way.

  20. What others have said: how do the sailors keep from running into each other? I can't steer a sailboat even when it's clear.

  21. I usually think of that song on a rainy night, but then I might as easily think of "a rainy night in Georgia." Great view you have!
