A beautiful day in Wellington! Now for the fog...!?

It has been a fantastic day in Wellington weather-wise with the bright yellow orb in the sky :-) present most of the day. It's been a welcome change, even though I was stuck inside most of the day :-)

Being Wellington, it couldn't be that simple. This evening I noticed that below the bright blue sky there was a layer of cloud [!] creeping in. A quick trip to a vantage point showed fog to the south of the city, creeping up over the south of the city, particularly just over the airport. I also heard what sounded like a ship's fog horn sounding several times.

Turns out that it was some warm, moist, air from the north colliding with some cooler air to the south, and, voila, fog.

Still a really nice day, and my camera is getting some practice in the sunshine :-)! Here are a few of the pictures.

A massive bank of it out near Plimmerton too, from what we can see from Tawa. Formed quite early too.
