I have to drive over Monksville Reservoir everyday on my way to work. With the recent spate of freezing temps, the heat vapors have been dancing on the surface; glimmering in the sun. It has been this way all week. (Remember it has been in the 20s on the mountain.) Yesterday I decided to pull over and try to capture the rising mist.Here's another one.
Sorta cool, huh. I wonder if this phenomenon has a name? Anyone know?

It is the turnover. As the cold air cools the surface water, the water sinks to a lower level and the warmer water them rises to the surface. The lake is turning over. This happens twice a year (Spring and Fall) in deep lakes. Dr. O.
Whatever it's called, it makes for great photos. The top one is my favorite.
you have that gorgeous mist too!!
:-)
I love that mist over lakes! Beautiful pictures.
