This mesmerizing gif shows a waterfall of mist gently spilling over the sun-illuminated cliffs of West Bay in Dorset, England.
The footage, captured by a drone, shows the effects of a temperature inversion.
A temperature inversion happens when a thin layer of the atmosphere experiences a temperature increase as height increases. Under 'normal' circumstances, atmospheric temperature tends to decrease as height increases.
This warm atmospheric layer acts as a lid; keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.
As a result of the temperature inversion, clouds below this atmospheric layer are forced to spread out and take on a flattened experience; as we can clearly see in this footage.
