Description

Murky water and dirty glass didn't make for the greatest shot, but I thought it was a great example of how water bends light waves!

This is a great example of refraction. For a minute I thought you were under water with the gator.

This reminds me of the old science class lesson where you put a pencil in glass of water. This is much more interesting! #325816
