Dunedin disappeared under a blanket of fog before sunrise last Friday
The thin edges of the fog reached the higher elevations of the hills on the Otago Peninsula making it possible for trees cast dramatic shadows over the fog.
The iconic Harbour Cone on the Otago Peninsula is surrounded by an invasion of fog just before sunrise. It almost seemed as if the sea had risen as the fog moved like waves crashing against the hillsides. It was a peaceful scene with nothing but the sound of wind helping push the drifting fog inland.

Downtown Dunedin disappeared under a blanket of fog before sunrise last Friday while farther up the hill the air was clear and warm. Pre-dawn travelers seemed to vanish into the slowly expanding wall of fog caused by a temperature inversion, where a warm layer of air traps cooler air below it.
