Fog and steam at dawn

Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 in Featured, Nature

The Autumn is a grand time for viewing steam fog. Long, clear nights produce substantial surface cooling by dawn and warm, lake, pond and marsh surfaces provide the ideal situation for fog formation. I love to see its tenuous columns rise, like a multitude of small fire smoke plumes. As they slowly rise, they twirl and dance in the light breezes, animating the usually invisible processes of surface convection like a scene from Fantasia. Just look at the steam fog that rises in wispy towers from its still surface, spiraling and puffing as if the reflected forest was on fire. Simply amazing!
