A classical "Omega" miraged sunrise
at Hartlen Point Nova Scotia  imaged
by Shaun Lowe (photography)
on 6th March 2005. The omega,
a balloon shaped erect sun above an inverted solar image,
was created by refraction between a warmer
air layer over
the ocean surface and higher, colder air. The spiky horizon is
characteristic of miraged sunsets and sunrises. Image ©Shaun
