Steam Fog, Sammamish River, Woodinville, Washington

Steam fog, also known as sea smoke, rises from the Sammamish River near Woodinville, Washington, on a cold morning. Steam fog occurs when cold air — it was 22 degrees Fahrenheit at the time this image was captured — passes over warmer water. Moisture rises from the relatively warm river and turns to vapor inches above the surface when it hits the freezing-cold air.
