A Beautiful Takeover

There’s no denying how beautiful and spontaneous Mother Nature can be.  If you need proof of that, just look at this picture right here. Most can’t tell what exactly is going on here, but they would love the view.

What we are seeing is an illusion, as subsets are caused by the refraction of the sun. Essentially, the Earth’s atmosphere bends the sunlight, and this is what enables us to see the sunset. By the time this is happening, the sun has already dipped deep into the horizon. In this case, what makes the effect so powerful is the reflection on both the sky and the water.
