These are stills from video shot in 2019.
Location was La Jolla, CA and the target was the former Encina NRG smokestack in Carlsbad, CA. (The smokestack was demolished in 2021, taking away one of my favorite coastal targets forever.)
Any examples of purported obscuring by a water horizon are inevitably countered as being the result of mirage and/or compression due to refraction. This is probably one of best examples of obscuring at the horizon that I have, but there was distortion of the image where the water meets the land that includes a band of mirage.
The question I always have is how can the presence of mirage be the alibi for obscuring when the mirage occupies less of the field of view than what appears to be obscured?
