October 13th 2006 was a sunny and very warm autumn day, which we wanted to spend on a hike at the Königssee. However, we did not get very far because the scene over the very cold, deeply shielded mountain lake was entrancing. Ships flew over the water, islands floated in the air and aliens over the lake were hunted. It was really fascinating to pursue the fast changing mirages.More Pictures: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Thanks Claudia for putting these up - they are stunningly beautiful.

Thank you. It's a pleasure for me that you like the photos. But I'm sure the Königssee is one of the most beautiful places in the world ... also without mirages ;o)
Beautiful images Claudia! I love their sharpness... it is not often that mirage images have this kind of detail in them.
What do you think about the picture #6? This is not normal mirrored. Could it be a whirl in the different warm air layer? Or how originate this?
Thanks and best wishes
Claudia
It looks to me that that is a normal miraging of a sloping coastline, where the slope seems mirrored in the mirage. I have a photo similar to this at http://www.weather-photography.com/photo.php?cat=photo_month&id=w-531-30 although that was not over water.
It looks strange probably because most of the slope in photo #6 is hidden behind the trees.
Best regards
Harald
Indeed awesome pictures, and regarding the aliens, well I think they do exist, but the ones who can really enlighten us cant interfere with us until the moment is right.
