The image below presents a strange phenomenon. Downtown Dallas is approximately five miles away from White Rock Lake. So how do the buildings reflect in the lake? If anyone could explain that, we would be grateful.

In the above image, the setting sun gives the tall buildings of downtown Dallas a pinkish hue.

Each evening, the waterfowl congregate at Sunset Bay to feed. The bay also offers them a lot of protection against predators.

After the Storm, the Sunset at White Rock Lake, Dallas

Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012


A thick blanket of clouds covered north Texas this afternoon, and unleashed pouring rain that led to floods and all kinds of mayhem. As quickly as the storm began, it ended and visitors soon started flooding into White Rock Lake to admire the beautiful sunset.

This is what it looked like at the lake after the storm on Easter Sunday

As the storm clouds started breaking up the sun began to set 

The image (below) of downtown Dallas was taken from the eastern shores of White Rock Lake. The rose-tinged buildings downtown were reflecting the setting sun.  Can someone please explain how these tall buildings, approximately fives miles away, reflect in the lake?

Downtown Dallas is approximately five miles away

The setting sun ignites the still lake

The sun's rays kiss the lake goodnight

The golden orb is barely visible on the horizon

And then it was gone ....

And the shadows of the night quickly enveloped the tranquil White Rock Lake in a blanket of darkness.
