What is water mirrors?

Water mirrors refer to a natural phenomenon in which still water appears to reflect a clear, mirror-like image of the surrounding landscape or sky. This effect is created when light hits the surface of the water, and is reflected back towards our eyes. The smoother and more still the water's surface, the clearer the reflection will be. Water mirrors can be seen in bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, and rivers, as well as in man-made reflecting pools and other water features. They are especially striking in the early morning or at sunset, when the light is softer and the colors of the landscape and sky are more vibrant. People have long been fascinated by water mirrors, and they have been celebrated in art, poetry, and literature throughout history.
