Tuesday - November 01, 2005 at 09:08 PM inPersistent Fog
Last night for halloween, I got out a blacklight, fluorescent paint, a couple of "flaming cauldrons" and a fog machine.
We don't usually get many trick-or-treaters (living in a cul-de-sac will do that), but those we get might as well get a show. Last year was the first year I had the fog machine, and it was a little disappointing. It is one of those small retail units, and I taped the button on to get as close to continuous fog as the machine could manage (which usually means 30 seconds of fog, followed by about two minutes to reheat). There was enough breeze last year to blow away the fog almost as soon as it formed, leaving our front steps mostly fog-free. Not so this year. This year there was no wind at all, and the atmospheric conditions were right for the fog to persist for a long time. We had a very nice fogbank which covered the entire front of the house and most of the driveway. Atmospheric haze was noticeable three houses down. Every so often a little bit of "cloud" would break off and very slowly drift down the street. All in all, a very satisfying effect. Posted at 09:08 PM | Permalink | | | |
