Redditor Drives Through Purple-Tinted Fog

Reddit user parkerhamster28 posted the pic, which they took from inside their car. The sky in the picture is covered in a thick layer of haze, and everything in the image is tinted purple. From the houses to the road to the reflection in the user's side mirror, there are very few parts of the picture that don't have at least a little bit of a purply tint to them. The effect is breathtaking in photo form and is probably much more exciting to actually see in person.

Some users joked about the image looking like an album cover, or that it was a corrupted image file where certain textures failed to load. To be honest, though, it actually would make for a good album cover.

Some commenters immediately thought of Prince's Purple Rain, which would probably come out of purple clouds. And of course, once one user mentioned a Prince song, a bunch of other users chimed in to keep the joke going.

"'Purple Fog' wouldn't have been such a good name for the Taylor Swift song..." one user joked, referencing the song Lavender Haze, which appeared on Swift's latest album, Midnights. You have to admit, Purple Fog does kind of sound like it would be a knockoff song.

After one user pointed out that the color was closer to magenta than true purple, and wondered if the lights in the area had anything to do with the color. OP responded and said that the combination of fog and the setting sun made the sky purple and that there were actually no clouds in the sky!
