It looks calm, but Monica conveyed that it was very windy when she found the perfect place to pull her car over and take this photograph of the full rainbow over Mono Lake, California, US
As Monica aptly describes, the "San Francisco fog is legendary, rolling dramatically and massively through the Golden Gate Strait from the Pacific Ocean into the San Francisco Bay, playing stunning, moment by moment now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t games with the bridge." This classic example was spotted near the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, US.

Reflections of cumulus on a walk by the bay, which Monica described being not long after a major downpour, so there was much sogginess and sludge underfoot, but the view made up for it, near Berkeley, California, US.
