B.C. resident captures unique visual phenomenon called Fata Morgana
A South Surrey resident captured photos of a visual phenomenon called Fata Morgana, taken looking from Crescent Beach toward Tsawwassen and Ladner Thursday evening. A few nights ago, Don Pitcairn was at Crescent Rock Beach – just south of Christopherson Steps – with his wife and friends for the evening’s sunset, when a strange, mirage-like image appeared across Mud Bay.The usual skyline looked altered.
“You look across the bay – you see Tsawwassen and you see into Ladner – and there was this thing… it look like a structure, almost a like a Roman aqueduct kind of look, there were all these columns… that’s gotta be some kind of weird mirage,” he said of the optical illusion. No one had seen anything like it, so Pitcairn said he sent the photos he took to a Global TV producer he knows, and the next thing he knew, “It made Weather Window!”A temperature inversion caused refraction of the light from Tsawwassen; making strange columns appear instead of the flatter land. It's called Fata Morgana.
