Unusual Weather Phenomenon Fills Grand Canyon with Fog

What an awe-inspiring sight! A few days ago, on Friday, Nov 29, The  Grand Canyon was taken over by a unique weather phenomenon that loaded the whole canyon with a dense part of fog. The incident, known as a heat range inversion, triggered everyone, such as ranger, to head to the rim to take images of it. As the Grand Canyon National Park Facebook web page mentioned .
"Rangers wait for years to see it. Word spread like wildfire and most ran to the rim to photograph it. What a fantastic treat for all!"

If you remained just a few more days, you could see it again as it occurred twice in three days! Guests to the canyon both on Friday and Sunday were able to observe the amazing, once-in-a-decade event.

An inversion happens when cool air is stuck near the surface of the earth by hotter air above. Moisture in the chilly air makes the fog. While most only complete up areas of the canyon, it's rare to see the whole canyon wrapped in a sea of atmosphere. Here are some of the best images taken by park ranger and visitors who were in the right position at the perfect time.

At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.

11 Foot 8 Inches: The Infamous ‘Can Opener’ Bridge

At 11 foot 8 inches, the Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass, located in Durham, North Carolina, United States, is a bit too short. The federal government recommends that bridges on public roads should have a clearance of at least 14 feet. But when this railroad trestle was built in the 1940s, there were no standards for minimum clearance. As a result, trucks would frequently hit the bridge and get its roof scrapped off.
