The Port Colborne Mill Optical Illusion Explained

Many have been baffled and posted many a theory. However the effect is due to the water vapor over the bay causing refraction producing an optical magnifying effect to your perspective. If the water wasn't in between you and the mill, the mill would not be visible at all until you rose over the hill. This is the same effect that people have tried to use to explain away flat earth distances like the Chicago skyline being seen from Michigan shores. This example is the real effect. Those explanations against flat earth distances is not. At distances as far away as Chicago to Michigan, refraction can only explain a slight magnification effect in perspective. Not hundreds of feet of supposed earth curvature. Light houses produce the same effect under certain atmospheric conditions.
