Superior Mirage


A superior mirage distorts the image of a distant cargo ship coming up the Saint Lawrence River, seen from the ferry between Les Escoumins and Trois Pistoles.  Moving the perspective by just a few feet up or down completely changed the image.  The view along the coast of the GaspĂ© Peninsula was equally odd, with headlands appearing upside-down and changing shape over time.
