So many people are saying ‘huh’ or ‘I don’t get it’. I didn’t realize that sort of stupidity existed in the world where someone didn’t know what a mirage was, especially after it was explained to them. Unbelievable. Others are screaming it’s a fake, but they probably say that for every picture shown to them without doing the research on it or without actually having the education/training to recognize a true photo manipulation. I’ve lost my faith in humanity. Too much stupid for me. Ugh.

This type of a mirage is called a Fata Morgana. It also happens in Spring / Early Summer on Lake Michigan where Chicago’s skyline, which is not usually visible, becomes visible, above the lake. It is due to a temperature inversion. Cold surface with warmer air aloft. Opposite of the other mirage of “water on the dry roadway,” which is hot surface and cooler air above.

lemme explain: the mirage you see looks like a city, correct? Well…a city of that image DOESN’T EXIST. it is a historical phenomenon that if you don’t believe, LOOK IT UP.

Alright, this is something my uncle once told me about. When you search for the city of Penglai on google maps you can see that across from it over the bit of water is another city called Changdao. Normally this city would be beyond the horizon, but because of the mist and the effect of the sunlight, the light is refracted in such a way that you can actually see it from Penglai when the weather conditions are right.

This can happen in many places. The one where my uncle showed/taught me about it was in the south of france.

If that’s really a “Fata Morgana”, I agree with jaze123’2 theory…but I don’t know very well “fog with sun” phonomenons, in my town there is only “fog with clouds”, so I sincerely don’t know…:)
