With the warm air over the cold Bay, spectacular mirage today. On a normal day there is nothing on the horizon. The nearest land is over 8 miles away and thus over the curvature of the earth. There are NO houses along the shore where these pictures are taken. This area is north of the Hooper's Island bridge. I did not have a tripod available and the images themselves are shifting and blurred since the are a mirage. Notice there are four "bands" of images and within each band the image is stacked upside down on the one below it.
The first picture is 38x optical magnification.
This image is about 70X magnification. Notice how the vapor layer is split on the upper left.
