The Old Dog Asks: Do You Have Your Head in The Clouds? Are You in a Fog?
Sometimes there is no other choice. If we're in a literal fog then our heads ARE in the clouds! Let me explain.
Definition of The Idiom: "To have your head in the clouds."
- To be out of touch with the everyday world and therefore to be unrealistic.
- To be living in a fantasy world.
- To have impractical dreams and ideas. Not knowing the facts or reality of the situation.
Definition of The Idiom: "To be in a fog."
- dazed and unaware about what is going on around you.
- confused and not alert.
Everyone in The Valley Below is in a Fog With Their Heads in The Clouds!
When a fog settles in the valley below my house I have this really cool effect of seeing clouds both above and below!
As the sun sets it creates a "painting" and I have nice sunny days with clear skies and down below it's bad weather!
What is Fog?
Definition of fog: "vapor condensed to fine particles of water suspended in the lower atmosphere that differs from cloud only in being near the ground." (from Websters Dictionary)
So there you have it. If you are in a literal fog your head is in the clouds.....along with the rest of your body!
Since I live in the mountains I often have great sunny weather while the entire valley can hardly see more than a meter in front of them! Of course, the opposite is also true. There are days when the clouds are up high and I'm in a fog with my head in the clouds and the people in the valley just have cloudy weather.
Please Note: I believe that sometimes it can do us good to have our heads in a figurative cloud but I try and avoid being in figurative fog!
What do You Think?
- Do you like the view from above the clouds?
- Have you ever experienced a thick fog?
I hope that you enjoyed this article about Having Your Head in The Clouds or Being in a Fog!

Fog can be beautiful...mysterious....a perfect setting for creativity....Being in a fog can be scary....confusing...frustrating...that's the difference between literal and figurative fog, Old Dog..
You make some excellent points!
Yes! very very much!
wow .. it looks like you're on top of the world there!
yes pretty much! hard to drive too
and gives the road a creepy feel
more so on top of the mountain - pretty eerie
but dramatic on sunny days
They made the Alps look so mysterious one summer in Tirol 2k meter high on one of them Alps..
magical too !
i always take pics of the sun at any angle its still beautiful. nice pictures =D
Yes, the sun is a great subject for photos!

Nice pictures! Looks like you live suspended over the clouds!
Hey cool! I love your your cartoon head!
My head is in the clouds because i live in a fantasy world, because my dreams are completely unrealistic and you know why @kus-knee , 7 years ago my spinal cord got damaged in an accident and despite not been able to walk for the last 7 years, i still dream of walking and running one day again.
Wow, sorry to hear about your accident. You do well to dream about that and I pray that it will be true for you! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment @jzeek! Welcome to Steemit, I'm sure that you have a lot to offer to all of us!
hahahahaha well I love your OLD SLOBBERY DOG HEAD!
Thanks!!!!
Love ya old dog!
When I wake up in the morning I sure am in a fog lol. I am a late night kinda person. Drink my energy drink and water until lunch time, then my fog is gone! But when i eat a big lunch the fog comes back and i am sleepy sleepy :)
Wish i could sleep for 10 hours right now and that would really help... i think in our society USA, that we don't get enoughsleep and there are too many things to keep us awake and in a fog(social media/tv/internet/videogames).
Istarted going on hikes more with my family and outdoors more and more, it really helps!!!
Hey, thanks for your experience and your practical solution!
My head is above the clouds? Then so is my body? LOL!
I live in the Philippines, specifically in Baguio City. And going to Mt. Pulag is just a few hours from our place. Hiking a few hours more to get to the top of the mountain, others call it summit, some call it the peak, but for me, i just call it heaven on earth. :) there is this event early in the morning where the clouds are just below your feet, literally, you can step on the clouds. :) just sharing.
Below are some pictures we took at the summit, or should I say, my heaven on earth. :)
BY THE WAY, IM NOT DREAMING AT ALL. :) HAHA
What awesome photos. thanks so much for sharing them with me!
Youre always welcome. :) maybe if you could visit the Philippines, it would be my honor to bring you here. And also to other places where tourists and other filipino really love to see. :)

@kus-knee your post reminded me of a tour of a cave I took as a child. During the tour I asked the question "Is there ever fog in a cave?" The guide didn't know, but afterwards discussed it with their local expert. They told me that they have never had that question, let alone from a child, but that there is in fact always a thin fog in caves!
They gave me a free book to keep my curiosity strong. Thanks for your post, and for the trip
What a nice story and experience. When we are curious we can earn many things!
You remember this one? Although not shown really well on this photo, see had her head in the clouds/fog and it didnt turn out well...
Good old Alfred Hitchcock.....Psycho!
Absolutely! Could not resist to throw this one as an answer to your post :)
Great shots! I love the view from above the clouds.
I have experienced really think fog. I was a relatively inexperienced driver and I was traveling down the highway and suddenly the fog got so think that I had to downshift all the way back to second or third gear. I couldn't really see the road, just faint reflections from the siderailing and just a bit of the red lights on the back of the car in front. And the car I was driving had really good fog lights. It was really stressful but I still didn't relinquish the driver's seat to the much more experienced driver that was traveling with me but I kept listing to the pointers he was giving me.
Driving in fog can be very scary and dangerous especially if it hits you all of a sudden!
It can, indeed, and even more so when you are an unexperienced driver as I was.
