We could use some fog as it has been HOT on the Mendonoma coast. A few weeks ago a rare late afternoon fogbow appeared. I'll let Mark Hancock tell the story.

“As I was leaving the Point Arena Light Station, I was treated to one of the most vivid and beautifully shaped fogbows I have ever seen.

"I think it appeared because the wispy fogbank was just barely above the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands field next to the Light Station with a brilliant blue sky above it, and the sun was low in the sky since it was around 6 p.m. I pointed it out to some folks who were parked in front of our entry, and they had been admiring it themselves!”

The vast majority of fogbows are seen in the morning, so it was nice to learn they can appear in the late afternoon.

Thanks to Mark for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
