Want a straight answer for a change? It's water. Droplets of liquid
water.
The man is right, steam/water vapor is invisible.
What you see is freshly formed condensate. In contrast, one of the things
that make superheated steam more dangerous than saturated steam is that
since it takes some cooling until it would condense, it's invisible.

One of my relatives used to work around superheated steam and considered
it extremely dangerous, since it could be leaking from the system and
you wouldn't know it until you walked through the leak and had your
flesh burned away.

We don't live right in Rennes le Chateau; it's about 2 miles from here.
But if I walk out into the street at dawn and look to the left, I see
the sun rising over the hill where Rennes le Chateau is.
Haven't found any treasure yet. ;-)

If water vapor is invisible, how come we all get this mental picture of
what it looks like? Mist, fog, steam - all those things are invisible?

You may call it "freshly formed condensate" but for most people, "water
vapor" refers to visible droplets of water in the air. And that's what
we were talking about - the humidity that changes how things look.

THen I must be having hallucinations when the hills disappear because of
little droplets of water. I wonder why people buy fog lights. I wonder
what that stuff is that makes it hard to see through my windshield on
rainy days. Why do weather reports talk of visibility?
What are you drinking?

Memory. If you look at something long enough, often enough, you remember
how it moves, how it looks.
Or you take a photo. ;-)
But the paintings done from photos never turn out as well, IMHO.
