Abstract
AN excellent place to observe mirage round our coasts is Morecambe Bay on a sunny afternoon when the tide is out and a fresh breeze is blowing in from the sea. Viewed from the low shore by Hest Bank, the Furness shore is clearly reflected in detail, even the steam of trains on the Furness Railway. Also, the bay towards Carnforth appears to be full of water where there is only dry sand.
