I've been having some discussions about fogbows with others. This is my all time favorite fogbow over San Luis Obispo/Los Osos Valley in February 2024.

Photo taken from Cerro San Luis mountain of a huge fogbow stretching across the wide area of Los Osos Valley and San Luis Obispo. The hills are green, the sky mostly blue except for the light fog and a few clouds. The bow starts in Los Osos and ends at a cloud sitting on top of Bishop Peak. To the far right is San Luis Obispo. A fogbow is white because it's formed from light hitting the small water droplets of fog. Since the droplets are so small, the prism effect doesn't occur as it does in rainbows formed from larger rain drops. Fogbows appear when the sun is at a lower angle and the fog is dissipating.

Wow! I've never heard of a fogbow. I've never seen a picture of one until now. So cool!

Thanks Alex! I was watching it form as I hiked up the mountain, and kept expecting it to turn into a rainbow. The arch was complete when I got to the top, but it never developed colors which puzzled me. This was the first time I saw a fogbow that noticeable.

I was wondering what a fogbow diffraction would look like.

That's fascinating! My simulation doesn't include the diffraction that causes that. I will have to be on the lookout for a fogbow!

It's my understanding that when light hits smaller water droplets in fog, the prism effect doesn't happen so you get a fogbow which is white. We get more fogbows here than rainbows.
Early morning sun hit light fog and formed a fogbow which looks like a rainbow, but only white in color. I saw one while in an open field with my back to the sun (you get my shadow selfie as well). The field is dry, brown grasses. The sky is blue above the fogbow.

Very cool, Alina! I saw a fogbow once, I wasn’t sure what is was until I googled it. 🤍

Happy Equinox Day! Fogbow selfie in Laguna Lake Open Space, San Luis Obispo.

#ECK #Fogbow #ShadowSelfie #Hiking #Weather #LandscapePhotography #Photography #WestCoastKin
A white fogbow has formed over Laguna Lake Open Space in San Luis Obispo. A fog bow is like a rainbow, but because the water droplets are so fine, they are not able to form the prism colors seen in rainbows. They occur when there is light fog in the morning and the sun is low. You will see them when your back is to the sun, hence my shadow in the center under the fogbow. The field is long, dry, brown grasses, and faint hills can be seen beyond the fogbow. The sky is blue above the fogbow.

My very first "fogbow" to start the day.

Rethinking Humanitarianism | The rise of privatised aid: A conversation with Fogbow
Should private companies staffed by ex-military personnel who are willing to work with controversial political actors uphold humanitarian principles?

We saw a fogbow on yesterday morning’s dog walk. 😊

Wonderful composition as always, Alina. And I don't think I've heard the term "fogbow" before. Now I'll make a point in keeping an eye out for them.

I have learned what kind of conditions help form fogbows, so when I see the conditions, I start looking to see if I can find or will see a fogbow form.

Some fabulous proto-autumnal things going on in the mist this morning. Fogbow & thistleghosts.
Dry thistle heads hung with dewy spider webs and illuminated by a mist-swathed rising sun. Fogbow in otherwise blue sky over a dry grass hillside.
