Got to spend a 3 day weekend with my wife at Watauga lake.

I liked this picture, taken 10 mintues before sunrise.

So you shoved the swing first? Cool pic!

Didn’t know the clouds/fog ever did that down in TN.

Ha. I’ve been to clingmans dome. Zero view from fog, but we walked up the tower anyway. But The fog/clouds are typically at the higher elevations, not lower.

This is just outside of Chattanooga. Phenomenon like this happens ALL THE TIME in the southeast. Very common.

Why Does Valley Fog Occur?

Difference Between Fog And Clouds | Earth Eclipse

To begin with, the basic difference between both clouds and fog is that clouds are formed vapor is turned into liquid and takes the shape of tiny condensed particles. Fog, on the other hand, is formed due to the cooling of ground air that turns the vapor into liquid ice or water.

Now, didn't shove the swing first. No way I could even touch it, but thought with it there, would make for a interesting pic...
