Decomposition
Decompositon. Water vapour rising from decaying organic matter on an active (hot) compost heap. This heat is a by-product of the breakdown of the organic matter by microbes living in the compost heap

Background imageWater Vapour Collection: Coastal fog

Coastal fog. Fog forms when a body of warm and moist air contacts cold air. As cold air can carry less water vapour than warm air, the vapour condenses to water droplets

Background imageWater Vapour Collection: Morning fog

Morning fog. This fog or mist is caused by the cooling of warm, moist air in the lowest layers of the atmosphere. Water vapour condenses into droplets as the air cools

"Captivating Water Vapour: From Sonic Booms to Praying Mantises" The mesmerizing aftermath of an aircraft's sonic boom creates a cloud of water vapour, showcasing the sheer power and speed of modern aviation. Unveiling Antarctica's hidden secrets through water vapour maps in 2004, scientists gained valuable insights into the continent's climate patterns and glacial movements. Power station cooling towers release billowing plumes of water vapour, symbolizing both industrial progress and environmental concerns surrounding energy production. A thermogram captures the ethereal beauty of cooling towers as they emit wisps of water vapour, creating a stunning visual display against their surroundings. In a rare moment captured high up in the Himalayas, a praying mantis delicately interacts with water vapour from passing clouds, blending nature's wonders at great altitudes. Delightful cloud formations depicted in vibrant color lithographs showcase the ever-changing dance between air currents and invisible water vapour molecules. Two male Black grouse confront each other at a lek while their breath condenses into visible puffs in the cold air—a striking scene that epitomizes primal competition amidst natural beauty. The Lower Falls at Artist Point in Yellowstone National Park captivate viewers with its majestic cascade enveloped by misty veils formed by evaporating river waters—nature's own masterpiece. Male Black grouse proudly display themselves amidst Kuusamo's frosty landscape; their breath crystallizes into tiny droplets, adding an enchanting touch to this wintry spectacle. 10 & 11: Male Black grouse call out passionately during leks as their breath mingles with chilly air—an awe-inspiring sight that exemplifies nature's harmonious symphony amid adversity.
