Sunrise behind the Robert Moses Bridge,Long Island,NY. The sun appears to be stretched down to the water because of refraction. Refraction is caused by a thin layer of much warmer air on the waters surface which refracts light from the true horizon so that it passes over the head of the observer. The light is replaced with an image of what would be seen from a lower position,in this case a reflection of the sun off the water | |
