Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Phenomenon: Fogbow

Captured at Point Lobos State Nature Preserve in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, this rare fogbow appears where ocean mist, sunlight, and perspective align in perfect harmony. Unlike a rainbow, a fogbow is formed by tiny water droplets in fog, scattering light into a delicate arc of white. Fleeting and ethereal, it is a phenomenon that vanishes as quickly as it forms, revealing nature’s quiet poetry in a moment many will never witness.
