Caught a rare #Fogbow today! It’s like a traditional rainbow, but made of microscopic fog droplets that wash out all the colors into a ghostly white. Upper Bavaria, Germany.

A wide, glowing white fog bow arches across a clear blue sky over a vibrant green field. A thick, low-lying bank of morning fog sits nestled along the tree line in the background, partially obscuring the base of the white arc. The foreground features a lush, dew-covered grassy hill in partial shadow, with a large, leafy tree framing the right side of the image as autumn colors just begin to show.

This morning's hike. A fogbow was trying to form, but the fog was on the sparse side. Hard to see is the moon above it (aligned with the electrical tower).

A subtle pale white arch has formed over a large space and valley. The thickness of the fog bow is a bit uneven, but it does show up against a blue sky. Below it is more ground fog on the field, (Laguna Lake Open Space). Underneath the fogbow's center is an electrical tower. Directly above the tower is the fogbow, then the moon (very small). The field is dark umber brown.

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.

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

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.

Man fishing on a dock of Laguna Lake. A partial fogbow has formed above the lake.
