On Reflection (Two)

By Peter D Geldart

Imagine standing on the shore of a large lake looking south with no far shore visible (in the northern hemisphere). The moon is moderately high and casts a sparkling line on the water that is distinctly centred on the viewer.

The author considers such taken-for-granted situations as light on water and on snow to show that our position is crucial: when we move bright specular reflections follow us on top of the diffuse background.
