Morning Refraction

The land masses of the NSW North Coast as seen across the Pacific Ocean from Byron Bay. What is remarkable about this image is that some of the land masses appear to be floating above the ocean surface. This is an optical illusion caused by the refraction of light due to total internal reflection off the ocean's warm surface air layer. Physics is everywhere.
