Lines Across Water

What’s causing those lines? Objects in the sky sometimes appear reflected as lines across water — but why? If the water’s surface is smooth, then reflected objects would appear similarly -- as spots. But if the water is choppy, then there are many places where light from the object can reflect off the water and still come to you -- and so together form, typically, a line.

The same effect is frequently seen for the Sun just before sunset and just after sunrise. Pictured recently in Ibiza, Spain, images of the rising Moon, Venus (top), and Saturn (right, faint) were captured both directly and in line-reflected forms from the Mediterranean Sea. The other bright object on the right with a water-reflected line is a beacon on a rock to warn passing boats. Image Credit & Copyright: Jose Antonio Hervas

Some questions I try to ask myself at least once a day to make wellbeing a priority:

▪︎ how does it feel to face life right now?
▪︎ do you feel good about yourself? your life?
▪︎ do you have agency?
▪︎ what would you do differently if you felt you could succeed?
▪︎ what does success look like?
▪︎ are you practising self-care?
▪︎ how do you feel in yourself? in your physical spaces? in your virtual spaces? (in that order)
