Sunset mirage





This kind of sunset mirage is caused by temperature inversion layers close to the surface of the sea. The real sun is setting while its inverted image appears to be rising. It's called a "Mock Mirage" and if you want to know more, follow this link to the Atmospheric Optics website http://www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/mmirsun.htm
