A Foggy Morning Past
Traveling by water we have frequently encountered fog. Those low lying clouds that form when the difference between air temperature and dew point is less than 4 degrees can present a real problem for us on the water. Steve and I both recall a time when we could not see a bridge just yards ahead of us and have to hold our position while waiting for the fog to lift. The bridge master couldn’t open the bridge because he feared the cars would not see the rail come down and into the river they would plunge.
Fog forms when water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets that are suspended in the air. There are many ways that fog formation begins one of which we frequently see witness as fog over in early morning as the day begins to warm the water over the surface of the pond behind our home. As the water evaporates it forms a thick mushy fog. (oops my inner nerd is coming out with this explanation)
Last fall I caught this act of nature with the sun’s rays shooting through the fog and trees. I love a foggy morning when I can sit and marvel over the wonders of nature–not so much when I have to drive through it or navigate through unknown waters.
