monkey's wedding

It was raining just now, and the sun came out, so I went to the roof to see if I could see a rainbow. I could, a fine fat one with a faint double. To the west, though, was something I hadn't seen before. Everything was brilliant white of sun-reflection, and Ballard, past 8th NW or so, was washed out, off-white on white, but not exponentially with distance, not like fog. Flat, like a painted backdrop, not just "lacking depth cues", but actively flat. I imagine this is the visual system's interpretation of depth in a foglike appearance. Why Ballard looked like that, though, I don't know.

Well, sometimes the rain's in the wrong place or something.

I'm figuring that it's interpreted as if it were fog, so the lack of fade with depth gets seen as lack of depth.
