Was just listening to Meatloaf, and noticed these words that I have heard a hundred times before, but never really given a second thought....."It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning, there was fog crawling over the sand."

It occurred to me that fog is caused by warm, moisture laden air blowing in from the warm ocean onto cool ground, which causes a drop in the temperature of the air close to the ground, resulting in saturation of the moisture content, and consequentially a fog appears.

Therefore, if the beach was so hot as to give a burning sensation to your feet, there would be no way that a fog could form over the sand.

How has this escaped everyone's attention for so long?

have you considered that maybe, while pondering whether to give their throat to the wolf with the red roses, beach goers on that hot summer night, suddenly chilled by the rolling in of the moist cool fog, lit bonfires and so the beach had an appearance of burning...?
