A coastal neighborhood in the district of Miraflores is covered by fog in Lima
A coastal neighborhood in the district of Miraflores is covered by fog in Lima February 7, 2012. The cause of the fog is due to the cooling of the Peruvian Central Coast sea, which is an unusual phenomenon during this part of the year, according to Perus National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a coastal neighborhood in the district of Miraflores, Lima, blanketed by an ethereal fog on February 7,2012. The mesmerizing scene is a result of the Peruvian Central Coast sea cooling down during an atypical time of year, as confirmed by Peru's National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology. In this snapshot taken by Enrique Castro-Mendivil for Reuters Images, we witness the power of nature as it transforms the landscape into a mystical wonderland. The unrecognizable housing structures stand elevated against the backdrop of thick white haze that engulfs the entire area. The image showcases not only the beauty in nature but also highlights environmental concerns such as pollution and global warming. As rain clouds loom above, adding to the atmospheric ambiance, one cannot help but marvel at how small humans are compared to these natural forces. The composition offers multiple layers and depths with cliffs jutting out from beneath the fog-covered horizon line. Despite being unable to discern individual features or faces due to their obscured visibility, there is still a sense of community conveyed through this group setting. Enrique Castro-Mendivil's creative use of depth-of-field allows us to appreciate both the scale and intricacy within this coastal landscape. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst our bustling urban environments, nature has its way of reminding us just how awe-inspiring it can be when given room to breathe.
