Personal Pictures

This is a picture I took with my cell phone early in the morning, around 8. Since I had a huge glare on my phone I didn't get a portion of the fog that was above the bridge, but you can see some of it on the right side of the picture. The type of fog shown here is evaporation fog that occurs when cool air blows over warm water. Since water's temperature is less volatile than the air's, and with a string of warm days this makes sense. The warm water evaporates (hence the name) into the cold air. Cold is unable to hold a lot of moisture, so the evaporating water equalized the dew point with the temperature forming water droplets. Thus fog over the river.
