No, but I saw one over Durlston - d'ya reckon they could be connected?
Low level sea fog, caused by warm moist air coming into contact with cooler water. The slight colouring was due to the angle of sun reflection. There was a much more substantial bank of sea fog lying between Swanage and the Isle of Wight, which was white in colour (against, the effect of sun light from a different angle). Sea fog is not at all uncommon when we get extremes of temperature and humidity, one way or the other. It is known as 'haar' on the north east and Scottish coasts where it is more common. It was an impressive sight.
It was the curse of the old paddle steamer businesses as not only did it spoil the views for the passengers but onboard technology was too poor to allow safe progress on the sea.
It happened again today ! Is it the volcanic dust or the residue from the Swanage Steam Train.
It sure is strange-never seen anything like it before.
It must be those contrails from all those planes we hear about!!!
Or all the hot air about the Pier Head redevelopment, improvements to the seafront and new houses at Herston Fields !
Remember the bowels of the earth open up in those caves along the beach towards old harry. The excess carbon dioxide mixes with the cool air from the sea to produce this strange effect.
