Just back from a field trip to Hungary and the Puszta (for flowers), here a UV shot of the famous Hungarian Parliament building, as seen from Buda Castle.

Klaus,

Is it that the walls are so unusually reflective or is it that UV light from the distant structures can't travel that far through polluted air? No insult meant for Budapest!

The colors come from different UV reflective materials used. This is the palette:

As far as fog is concerned, this is based on Rayleigh scattering which is much higher for UV than for visible light due to the shorter wavelength, also in clear sky. IR is used to penetrate clouds because of that effect as it penetrates much better.
