While the late afternoon sun hovered in the sky, the haze turned the distant islands of Merchant's Row into dark, shimmering mirages.
But with songs of the calibre of Gypsy, Book of Love and Love in Store – before you even get to the second side – and with the band's dark undercurrent present and correct, Mirage still outshines most of the current crop of Mac imitators.
The pastel-hues of the desert seemed like mirages in the dark and, sitting with my back to the cold stone of the exhibition wall, I was transfixed again and again.
The water was still cold but the air was considerably warmer, and the result was a "superior mirage": we saw the dark line of the horizon twice, both where it actually was and at a phantom place above it.
Papi brings us a darker look from their new Summer Mirage Collection, which still pops like a firework.
I went through Daylight Pass, and the entire expanse of Death Valley sprang into view: the dark mountains, the white floor, the perpetual mirage of an ancient lake.
Anthony Tyson and his colleagues Greg Kochanski and Ian Dell'Antonio at Bell Laboratories (now part of Lucent Technologies), in Murray Hill, New Jersey, have used this multiple mirage to produce the most detailed picture of dark matter so far.In order to generate the mirages observed, the galaxies in CL0024+1654 must have their mass distributed in a certain way.
But at the peak of our despondency we saw it: the lift, rising like a mirage out of the timber woods, its four dark cables striping the red sunset.
And since only a fraction of this mass is accounted for by what is visible, the rest must be dark matter.Dr Tyson's team found that to generate the multiple mirages they see, most of the dark matter must be distributed smoothly across the cluster, covering a distance of at least 1.6m light years.
Our son notices how the almost-symmetry of the limestone combinations and a deep dark line about a third of the way up above sea level create a mirage.
First up was the CD compilation and label primer After Dark, which introduced listeners to five acts: Glass Candy and Chromatics (these two you might know), and Mirage, Farah and Professor Genius.
