Looking south from the summit of The Old Man of Coniston. A moonlit temperature inversion with the street lights of Lancaster, Preston and Blackpool illuminating the fog from below. The summits of Snowdownia and Yorkshire decorate the horizon.
It was at about 1am and at 1000ft in very heavy fog (I could barely see my own feet) when I realised I'd forgotten the tent pegs. The thought of turning back did occur. However, the chance that the summits might be above the fog convinced me to carry on. Sure enough, another 500ft on and a moonlit kingdom emerged from the greyness. It's an eerie mountain, with many caves, doorways and other relics of a one time busy mine scattered along the way up. Many eyes peer out from under rocks, lit up by torchlight, but most (or perhaps all) ultimately reveal themselves as either sheep or well hidden sweet wrappers.
Luckily, the Hilleberg Jannu lends itself well to creative pitching, and a few carefully placed rocks later it was fully secure, though it needn’t have been, as wind speeds barely exceeded 5mph all night. I didn't get a lot of sleep, opting to wait up for sunrise, and spent a further 48hrs above the clouds exploring neighboring peaks as the inversion persisted throughout the day and the following night.
There were many visitors throughout the daylight hours, admiring the clouds below and congratulating each other on having had the enterprise and good fortune to venture above the fog. Sadly, most, if not all, descended the summits long before moonrise, missing out on what were by far the more stirring and sensational vistas.
The late night weather forecast was for fog so quickly grabbed the gear and headed off with the pup for his first camping experience. Great we night and even better morning. Met Richard Fox the next morning. You should check out his stream as he has some amazing landscape images.

For me this is Ullswater at its best; perfectly still and under a temperature inversion. For three days on the trot, conditions were producing mist on the lake but on this day a full inversion was produced, and resulted in the lake being obscured by a thick blanket of fog. This panoramic was taken from Hallin Fell, a classic Ullswater viewpoint, made all the more special down to the atmospherics and the recent harvest moon.
When I first arrived the mist was very thin and patchy, and I thought I was in for a let-down. As I walked up to the top and selected my viewpoint, I watched as the fog started to build and flow down from the head of the valley, eventually rolling over into the Martindale and Boredale valleys.

Temperature inversion over the Eden Valley juxtapositioned for an instant in my camera a hawthorn twig, a larch twig and across the cloud filled void Blencathra. backed by a delicate late afternoon sky.

I awoke yesterday to thick fog, but as I drove to work I found the sun was actually only a few feet above beneath a thick blanket of cloud
An intense high-pressure system sat its plump rump on top of western montana in late November. It stayed there for 8 or 9 days, smothering the Missoula valley in a thick freezing fog. "The Inversion," as they call it round these parts. I had the good fortune of being otherwise unengaged, and spent the better part of the week wandering in the mist.
This morning's inversion in the Derwent Valley seen from Curbar Edge in the Derbyshire Peak District. Photos to follow.
It was only for a moment, a mirage during a cold air inversion, and for a moment the morning sun brilliantly lit the 'rising' roadway ahead. I've never seen a mirage glow like this. Seconds later it was gone.
In a cold air inversion, cold air is trapped below by a 'blanket' of warmer air aloft, usually disappearing when the sun rises and warms the trapped air. During this kind of inversion, the difference in air densities causes flat surfaces to appear 'bent' upward, and play a fun 'trick' on our view of the horizon.
