Have you seen something like this before? :)

Water mirage!

While driving on a dry salty beach from a small village in Baja California to the next town, I saw this at the horizon.

Lucky it was not on the hwy, so we could stop the car, get out and put the 200mm lens on.

I hand handled the camera, but also the mirage was very far away - at about 1 mile or more..., so the images are not very clear...

- What is amazing to me is the fact that you can see the water reflections of the trees and buildings!

Thank you Taz, I know... I cropped the image. But the 1 and 2 are what it actually looked like...

I know we can see these things mainly on the highways, but what I'm amazed of is to capture with the camera something that actually doesn't exist...

I've seen the phenomenon in a couple of deserts but never thought to capture it...

but now - next time....
