LUDINGTON, Mich. — It's 60 miles that separate Ludington and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, yet both are visible in a picture.
Val Gorzynski snapped the Manitowoc skyline from his porch in Ludington, right off Lake Michigan. The photo shows a rare superior mirage.
This phenomenon happens when there is a temperature inversion over the lake - warmer air sits above cold air. The inversion refracts light rays down, so you're seeing a mirage of the object above the object itself. Often, the image is flipped upside-down.
