The water was boiled? – – Frost smoke in Shirahama, Shimoda

090116beach01_3This morning, I walked with my daughter as usual, and when I was coming back home I found an interesting phenomenon on the beach.

It was a Frost smoke or an ice fog caused by extremely cold air flowing over a body of comparatively warm water.

The lowest temprature of Shirahama area was about 5 degrees, but the water was over 17 degrees in this season.

That’s why I could see this phenomenon this morning.
