Coastal fog
Coastal fog. Fog forms when a body of warm and moist air contacts cold air. As cold air can carry less water vapour than warm air, the vapour condenses to water droplets. Fogs on the sea may be caused when air associated with a warm current drifts over a cold current. This is the Baltic Sea coast in the Kaliningrad region of Russia. Photographed in August 2004

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coastal Fog" transports us to the mesmerizing Baltic Sea coast in the Kaliningrad region of Russia. Taken in August 2004, it beautifully captures a unique atmospheric phenomenon known as fog formation. As we delve into the science behind this natural occurrence, we learn that fog is created when warm and moist air encounters colder air. The cold air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, causing condensation and resulting in tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere. In this image, the misty coastal fog envelops everything around it, creating an ethereal ambiance. A lone figure can be seen walking along a promenade near the shore, adding a sense of scale to this otherworldly scene. The soft glow from streetlights pierces through the gloominess of the weather while highlighting nearby trees and casting eerie shadows on the beach. This photograph not only showcases nature's beauty but also serves as a reminder of humanity's connection with our environment. It reminds us how meteorological phenomena like fog shape our surroundings and influence our daily lives. With its serene yet mysterious aura, this image invites contemplation about climate patterns and their impact on coastal regions worldwide. Captured by Science Photo Library without any commercial intentions, this stunning print offers both aesthetic pleasure and scientific insight into one of nature's most intriguing wonders – coastal fog over Russia's Baltic Sea coastline during that summer month in 2004.
