In reply to James Callis. Once I clicked on the photo to expand I could see what looks like some inverted mirror images - so even though its sunset, with less of a temperature differential- I would say yes just to a smaller degree. Thank you so much for asking and posting that awesome photo!!

In reply to Sally Yolen. How did your photos turn out? I wanted a bigger lens than I had. Would love to see them if you would share.

I saw this all the time when I worked at the boardwalk and when tourists asked
About it I acted shocked and said “you have never heard of the Giant Cliffs of California”. The aww and excitement in their faces… Good times
