Arch of fog over fields of frost

This morning I was able to photograph for La Vanguardia Readers' Photos the fog arch, the landscape with a good frost, the fog and even a poor salamander looking for water, in Sant Andreu de la Vola, a population entity of Sant Pere de Torelló, in Osona.

As the early morning fog disperses, an arch sometimes forms. In reality, this phenomenon is like a rainbow but white.

Meteorological winter is noticeable in the final stretch of autumn. In fact, it started on December 1 and will last until February 28. It is common in this part of Catalonia during this time of year for frost to occur and the fields to wake up frosty.

Frost is a meteorological phenomenon that consists of a drop in ambient temperature to levels below the freezing point of water and causes the water or vapor in the air to freeze, depositing it in the form of ice on surfaces.

The extreme case of frost is the black frost, which is when a frost occurs with greater pressure and even causes the plants to be completely destroyed.

The interior of the Osona region has a continental Mediterranean climate (extreme temperatures and relatively humid, with more abundant rains in spring and autumn), while in the mountains that surround it, especially in the east and south, it is more Atlantic. (more humid and less extreme), which is evident in its vegetation.
