Here's a nice Inferior #mirage seen in this view of the lighthouse and buildings on #RaceRocks in #VictoriaBC.
The image shows (right) the view from about 15 metres above sea-level and then again from about 5 m (left).
The lighthouse is 18 km from the camera.
The air at the surface over Juan de Fuca Strait is a bit warmer than the air above. In this situation, there are refracted rays of light that are bent down and then up again to the camera, making the image appear below the object.
