Excellent photo Graham.

Thanks!


Something we get a lot of around here during humid weather and a
southerly breeze is cloud abruptly forming half-way up the cliff face
with the top shrouded like the Table Cloth on Table Mountain.

I take it that this could be a similar effect that the air, saturated
with humidity after passing over hot, wet sand is then forced to travel
up the cliff-side and cools slightly forming a perpetual, stationary but
evolving cloud.


I'm sure your right. I've got an old scanned photo (pre digital!) taken on Skybus flying over Sennen. (I took as many freebie flights as I could when I worked for them!) There is cliff top fog, formed as the air is forced to rise, but only above the beach where there was plenty of steamy warm wet sand. No fog on the cliffs either side even though they are slightly higher.

Fascinating subject coastal fog, so many variations on a theme.
