Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Lots of Pogonip was in the air on this very cold winter morning with temps below zero near Truckee, California. The Sun had burned most of it off by the time I took this photo, I have to say it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen-sparkling diamonds in the air! The word pogonip is a meteorological term used to describe an uncommon occurrence: frozen fog. The word was coined by Native Americans to describe the frozen fogs of fine ice needles that occur in the mountain valleys of the western United States in December. According to the Shoshone Indian tradition, breathing the fog is injurious to the lungs.
