It’s everywhere today (the fog, that is). Great photo.

Yesterday I noticed a band across the mountains to the west made by a layer of freezing fog. It appeared to be about a thousand feet from top to bottom. Regrettable I didn’t attempt to go investigate.

Indeed. And this morning the freezing fog is at the valley level.

Beautiful – trees have such a presence sometimes, and you have really captured this.

I love fog too, especially now that I don’t have a long commute in it and no longer have to respond to vehicle accidents.

Warm air and cold snow or cold air and warm water?

After reading a full page of NOAA explanation of the fog conditions (in very small type), I have no idea of what is causing the present conditions. It seems to be either a meteorological sandwich or a big bowl of soup. Whatever the cause, temperature inversion is holding it in the valleys.

That’s funny. Leave it to the government to complicate something so simple. When we get fog like that in winter it is usually because the air has warmed and the snow is cold, but near water often the air is colder than the water, which can cause really thick fog.

Yes, fog generates a nicely diffused and soft light.

Something I seldom see so I like the way fog photos look, very nice. The tree looks really tall but it might just be your perspective.

I enjoy the fog but get concerned about folks who drive in it, many of whom aren’t very good drivers in the first place. The area around the tree has been cleared so it stands alone, but it’s about 80 feet tall. Ponderosa Pine.

Thanks Vicki. It was not really cold by our winter standards, about 30F.

I’m a fog lover, too, so this one really appeals. Such a large, solitary tree is especially dramatic. It’s interesting to follow the fog. We’ve not had much, but just tonight the NWS here posted a graphic showing how the fog had appeared in most of the river valleys in Texas. This is the fog season for us. Before long, the sea fogs will begin, as the waters cool. It’s a real kick to be vanishing with one eye on the bay, watching the fog bank and trying to predict when it’s going to begin moving inland. (Doesn’t take much to amuse me!)

I also belong to the Center for the Easily Amused.
The trick to dealing with fog is to get out in it for extended periods as often as you can. It can be marvelous.

Thanks. Fog shots can be very subtle! I intentionally under expose them and lighten them up on the computer if necessary. If they are over exposed (and it’s very easy to do) in the camera, they are pretty much lost.

It certainly does. It also makes everything look soft, and then when the snow comes it makes a winter scene look warm to those of who know about winter.
