P.S.

Sparkling and shimmering sunlight-reflections at the water's surface are considered as countless images of the Sun, each of which is somewhat distorted and imperfect.

The water-reflection photo flipped upside down, i.e. “UD”, displays an optically upward view from a point at the water depth equal to the observer's height from the water's surface.

The water-reflection image is possibly thought of as the philosophical sublation of 'reality and unreality', 'fact and fantasy', 'solid and fluid', and so on.

The metropolis viewed from the space is regarded as a large nest of human beings, suggesting the cityscape could be part of the Earth's nature.

Watching the astronomical events (e.g. the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse, and the Venus transit) tells that we are on the Earth and in the cosmos.
