Breathtaking images capture river of fog filling the Grand Canyon

[n2doc]

Friday morning, the gorges of the Grand Canyon were filled with fog in a rare temperature inversion
A temperature inversion happens when hot air high up acts as a seal to keep cold air pollution and fog trapped below
While inversions happen once or twice a year at the Grand Canyon, a full inversion is more unusual, happening closer to every 10 years

2. GASP! Although extensive photo

manipulation has taken place, these are awesome photos!

3. What manipulation?

I don't do Photoshop so point it out.

6. Don't think so

I live in the mountains and when we have temperature inversions the clouds are like that - what is below no longer exists and it as if you are now living on a plateau of clouds - so cool. Though being in the Grand Canyon when this happened would be awesome.

7. Yes, the top once especially looks somewhat HDR'ed

but these are nice shots anyway. I'm a big fan of fog.

10. Doubt that any photo manipulation occurred.

I once lived in Marin County Calif., and the views of fog over the steep hillsides of West Marin, as huge banks of fog rolled in from the ocean, were often exactly as depicted by these photos. (Minus the Canyons, of course.)

13. Yep. Saw a bank like that coming over the hills between Lake Berryessa and Santa Rosa once.

Full moon and I was driving home late one night and saw it as I was cresting the grade. Absolutely stunning. 😊

4. I guess down in the canyon it seems like just a rainy foggy day

this is like looking down on clouds from an airplane.. so beautiful.

9. As a "local" to the Grand Canyon

and having visited it at least 20-25 times in the last 21 years I can assure you the inversion photos are not "photo-shopped" and I have personally witnessed this phenomenon twice.

It just so happens I was there just last week and saw this setting up on Wednesday morning, complete with "cloud falls" .




Me and Mr. Sedona Tuesday afternoon (please pardon my "hat hair" It was quite cold!).

12. We thought fog was going to ruin one of our Grand Canyon trips

It turned out to be incredible
