Fog spill
Pacific moisture squeezes through a canyon in the Sierra la Giganta and spills down the eastern face sinking and quickly dissipating in the dry warm
gulf air.

Are you sure??
One of these days I'll take a few shots of the fog coming off the water and over the hilltops behind my house. It looks like cake frosting and leaves
you wondering why it doesnt tumble to the lowest point by it's own weight.

I lived in Fresno 2 1/2 years... and 'Tule Fog' rises up from rain soaked ground rather than off the ocean... Here is from Wikipedia:
Tule fog ( /ˈtuːliː/) is a thick ground fog that settles in the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Valley areas of California's Great
Central Valley. Tule fog forms during the late fall and winter (California's rainy season) after the first significant rainfall. The official time
frame for tule fog to form is from November 1 to March 31. This phenomenon is named after the tule grass wetlands (tulares) of the Central Valley.
Accidents caused by the tule fog are the leading cause of weather-related casualties in California.
Tule fog is a radiation fog, which condenses when there is a high relative humidity (typically after a heavy rain), calm winds, and rapid cooling
during the night. The nights are longer in the winter months, which creates rapid ground cooling, and thereby a pronounced temperature inversion at a
low altitude.
In California, tule fog can extend from Bakersfield to Red Bluff. Tule fog occasionally drifts as far west as the San Francisco Bay Area, even
drifting westward out the Golden Gate, opposite to the usual course of summertime ocean fog.
It is formed when cold mountain air flows downslope into the valley during the night, pooling in the low areas until it fills the valley to the "brim"
formed by the Coast Ranges and the Sierra Nevada. This occurs because most areas in the Great Central Valley have little or no air drainage below the
level of mountain passes. Because of the density of the cold air in the winter, winds are not able to dislodge the fog and the high pressure of the
warmer air above the mountaintops presses down on the cold air trapped in the valley, resulting in a dense, immobile fog that can last for days or at
times for weeks undisturbed. Tule fog often contains light drizzle or freezing drizzle where temperatures are sufficiently cold.
Tule fog is a low cloud, usually below 1,000 feet in altitude and can be seen from above by driving up into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada to the
east or the Coast Ranges to the west. Above the cold, foggy layer, the air is typically warm, dry and clear. Once tule fog is formed, turbulent air is
necessary to break through the temperature inversion layer. Daytime heating sometimes evaporates the fog in some areas, although the air remains
chilly and hazy below the inversion and reforms right after sunset. Tule fog usually remains longer in the southern and eastern parts of the Central
Valley because more winter storms affect the northern Central Valley.

Thick fog over our Pacific Coast the last few mornings! Sometimes it wraps around Cabo and makes its way up the East Cape?! Nice photograph! It's
cold and damp this am. Tio
