Goderich, Ontario is directly across Lake Huron from our lakehouse in Huron County, Michigan. The atmosphere was unusually clear last Sunday. Late in the day we were seeing what seemed to be buildings on the far shore, a distance of 36-38 miles to the east. The buildings are a kind of inversion, like a mirage, that appear when light conditions are favorable.
By evening, after sunset, Ed watched the lights of Goderich appear on the distant horizon. This 30 second exposure, taken about 9 pm, shows a glow and sparkles of lights. Some of these lights are at the harbor and the town; others are communication towers and wind turbines. You can see bright stars in the sky, too. The band of light on the right is a freighter.
