From his lakefront home in Canyon Lake, Bill Van Vleet snapped this photo of the sky’s reflection on the lake. Van Vleet took the photo on Friday, September 6, at 6:52 a.m.
The sky’s reflection on a lake occurs due to the smooth, mirror-like surface of water, which reflects light. When the lake is calm, with minimal disturbances from wind or currents, the surface acts like a natural mirror. Factors such as the angle of sunlight, clean water, and sky conditions can enhance the reflection. The phenomenon is a combination of physics and environmental conditions.
