of members of the RPS.

vegetation or any object that has been chilled below freezing point by
radiation cooling. This deposit of ice crystals is known as hoar frost
and may sometimes be so thick that it might look like snow.

"Dawn Approaching"
There is a brief interval before sunrise in Kenya’s Masai Mara when, if
the conditions are just right, the sun’s rays reflect from the moisture
and dust in the atmosphere to produce a spectrum of colour in the sky.
