Glitter pathsEver wondered why the reflection of the sun or moon on water sometimes takes the form of an orb, while at others a magical seeming path seems to be crossing the water towards your good self, as if inviting you to step through into the middlemarches? The answer is wind. When the water is still and quiet, a glowing orb shines back at you. Add the slightest choppiness though, and a glittering path seems to flow towards you over the water. The ripples or waves turn the surface from one large mirror into countless smaller ones that create the effect of the path, reflecting the light as a diamond’s facets towards the watcher’s open eyes. In this photo the full moon is sitting pretty between a couple of icebergs.LozImage credit: Dennis Ingemann -- source link
