This image of another ship was taken less than a minute later.
"Only last week, I noticed a miraged ship’s appearance change significantly when I went from crouching (to steady my camera on a low wooden fence), to standing, a vertical change of camera position of only two feet! Holding the camera overhead furthered the change!! I had previously noticed that moving a few feet right or left on a mildly sloping sidewalk had a similar effect.
Mirages can also change from one minute to the next as you watch them." |
