Capture: Got the blues, in reply to Lilith __,
OIC you're suggesting the inability to see the hulls might be exacerbated by miraging rather than that one boat is a mirage of the other.
I'll give a crop for discussion. There was some miraging on the horizon that I can clearly see in other shots, so there's some truth in what you're saying. The rear sun-tent on the rightmost boat does seem stretched at the bottom, which is probably mirage, and that may have hidden some of the top edge of the hull. It does seem to have an unduly high boom. But the middle boat is all sails. They're stretched a bit, I think, but not enough to hide the entire hull, which is quite large (it was a much larger vessel than the other two, several kilometers further away). It was below the horizon, which is only about 5km away from me standing with my feet in the water.

And since this thread is supposed to be about the sky!

Capture: Got the blues, in reply to Lilith __,
You had me wondering for a second. All three are on exactly the same tack. But here's one taken from higher up about 45 mins earlier (ain't having a clock in your camera great!), of the same three sailboats, and it's clearer that they are all distinct vessels.

I don't usually want so much sky, but it was really quite striking yesterday.

Proof the earth is round. 2 out of 3 boats below the horizon, and one on it, to prove it's not just an intervening wave. Maximum zoom, by hand. I expected this shot to be blurry, but the powerful light must have meant a really short shutter speed.

An auspicious start to the Easter Weekend. Sunset over Motutapu.

Too many. -

Not in general. You might be able to teach it for journalism perfectly well though.

Up Front: Oh, Grow Up, in reply to Russell Brown,
had been asking me the kind of questions which implied a need for the kind of intellectual framework I’m not well-equipped to provide.
The irony of that is that you are a natural critical thinker, as I see it. Which shows that it's something picked up across many fields already (in your case journalism), which is probably why it's debatable whether it should be taught as a core subject.
