Fog over a lagoon, coupled with the following description by Reven: "Dusk, as day folds elegantly into night and the sky melds with the water. This is where I would come to read and discuss life's chapters with my ancestors, if I had the opportunity.” This peaceful scene was captured by Reven at the Stinson Lagoon in Stinson Beach, California, US.

Super Image Giampiero well composed
Thanks for this beautiful photo, Giampiero. This is my favourite cloud of all clouds.
The inclusion of the houses in the landscape gives good measure of just how big the cloud is.
Thanks again.
