The rare beauty of a fog-bow as spring, summer transition brings all conditions

The change from spring to summer has brought with it all seasons conditions, from beautiful sunrises to fog, storms and warm light.

Yarra Valley resident Tracey Frazer has been snapping the changes on her daily walks in this magnificent region, witnessing storm clouds rolling in and pink and orange hues as the sun rises or sets.

She even spotted a rare fog-bow, a similar meteorological phenomenon to a rainbow but rather than sunlight interacting with rain, it occurs when much smaller water droplets are found in fog or mist.

The rarity is a coveted achievement for photographers, given the angle of Australia’s sun, making it even more uncommon for our continent.
