It's actually a Dassault F1.
I think it's something with the predicted jet stream shift, but I have no idea what they would be observing...

That looks like fata morgona, an illusion created by temperature inversions.

One of edible flowers in spring.

Do you eat flowers in your country?

Re: Something oriental
Some people eat flowers. It's not common, and I never have. I couldn't even tell you what ones are edible.
Re: Something oriental
I've never heard of eating hibiscus but google set me straight! We eat jumping jacks, nasturtium, garlic scape, etc. Dendrobium phalaenopsis are edible too, but not really palatable. Flowers are usually served as an edible garnish and not as a dish here. Like the parsley sprig or kale leaf of years past, flower garnishes are usually shoved to the side of the plate instead of being eaten.

We get that effect quite often on Gitche Gumee during the summer. Low, rocky islands a few miles off-shore appear distorted and super-tall on some summer days. Very cold surface water and warm air seem to be the ticket.

They say that the flow of wind matters also.

The red flower of the picture is Japanese camellia (tsubaki).
Though we seldom eat it, we deep fry it together with other mountain vegetables.
