Interesting picture, Steven! Looks like a city in the sky from a fiction book! Interesting seeing Dubai, UAE, a large, hot, dry desert city in the Middle-East covered by moist, thick, early spring fog(mist), followed by a bright, warm, mid-spring day as soon as the strong desert sun burns it all off. Most of us would think that there wouldn’t be enough moisture in the desert air in this part of the world in order to create the fog(mist) and the temperatures for most of the year being too hot. However, on this rare occasion, there must have been enough moisture in the air over the Persian Gulf to the East of Dubai and a cool enough mid-spring morning had occurred in order for the Gulf moisture in the air to condense into clouds and being blown by the wind eventually formed the fog(mist) that we can see over the city. The thick mist(fog) certainly obscures the high, city buildings, with only the tallest ones being tall enough to poke through and be seen clearly. Hope the thick mist(fog) didn’t create traffic problems on the city’s streets during rush hour! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
