Panoramic composite image of sunrise fogbow at 7.49 am.
On Sunday morning forty minutes after sunrise a Fogbow appeared in the middle of a misty morning view over Murambi from my upstairs front veranda. All the conditions were right – bright sunshine from the rear with the Sun less than twenty degrees above the horizon and clearing clouds of mist at the antisolar point. This is just the third time a fogbow has been observed from my viewpoint on Murambi Heights – the last two were on 16th March 2018 and 29th April 2020.
