Like most of the UK, the fog was well and truly here to stay in my part of the world today.This is Kimmeridge Bay, taken early this morning looking out to sea. You can just make out the outline of the headland through the icey twigs.

i used 2 ND grad filters here to control the sun, which i have cropped out from the top as I felt it is a lttle too distracting. The fog is expected to stay for another 48 hours, causing havoc at Heathrow airport and for everyone trying to travel this christmas.

Some fog facts from Weatherquestions.com...



Fog can be considered a cloud at ground level. The processes forming it, however, are usually different from those that form clouds. Like clouds, fog is made up of condensed water droplets which is the result of the air being cooled to the point (actually, the dewpoint) where it can no longer hold all of the water vapor it contains. For clouds, that cooling is from the rising of air parcels, which cools from expansion. For fog, which occurs next to the ground, there are usually other reasons for this cooling. For instance, rain can cool and moisten the air near the surface until fog forms. Also, infrared cooling of a cloud-free, humid air mass at night can lead to fog formation - this is called "radiation fog". Radiation fog is most common in the fall, when nights get longer, and land and water surfaces that have warmed up during the summer are still evaporating alot of water into the atmosphere. Finally, a warm moist air mass blowing over a cold surface (usually snow or ice) can also cause fog to form-this is called "advection fog".

Thanks for looking...

Hi Paul

At least you had some colour :-) it has been pure white fog all day here. Gatwick has ground to a halt. The twigs look great against the pink sky. Lovely composition and great POV.

Hi,'
These colours in the fog are beautiful. Very well done landscape. Nice composition and low pov.

Hi Paul,
What a misterious looking photo. The colors are odd, but beautiful. Love the faded silhoutte of the house in the back. Te slight movement of the braches make it even more interested.
TFS,
Niek
