Woke up just before 5 am this morning, looked out the window and the fog was so thick I could hardly see across the street. Then a few minutes later, the fog lifted. So images of the LNG Canada flare as the fog lifted. Darker ones taken with my cameras, the wider shots by my Samsung Galaxy S23. There will be more interesting images in times to come. Two were converted to black and white to see the contrast.
