Guess what - long distance shots with my cell phone camera suck. While westbound on I70 this morning, some mirages were visible. Often, if you look across a valley, the mirages will rise above the horizon, showing elevators on past the valley itself. Grain elevators miles and miles away seem outsized and float above the ground. By the time I got the cell phone out, it was disappearing fast.
Click for larger for sure - to the left, what looks like a hill is actually the mirage, and as you go right, you can see blue sky between the top of the mirage and the horizon. Headed towards the Rockies, you can see the mountains rising far above the natural horizon, but out here, there just aren't any features as tall as it looks.
