Or not.
This satellite image is supposedly of an area near Bermuda, but it arrived by e-mail a few weeks back without any information or linkages attached. Only just realised I mentioned the 'hovering islands of Bermuda' in the text of the 'Flying Cars Of Perth' story featured down below, and didn't actually post this image. Whoops. So here it is.
It's interesting that most people who have seen this remarkable image automatically say they see islands floating above the ocean, whereas the pretty obvious explanation is that what appears to be shadows cast by islands above the water are actually shadows of small clouds that happen to be near-perfectly aligned so as to give the visual impression of 'floating islands'.
