There is a fence with squiggly metal wire. If I look at the skyline
(approx. 3-4 miles away), the buildings appear bent in more than
one place.
Why is this? How does this work? P.S. It only works during the
daytime.

Oops! I said "works" twice...change the second one to "happens"...if you care to
see this yourself, go to the corner of Florence and Alameda in L.A. and look
North. (That is, above the RR tracks).

Southwest corner of that intersection---check it out yourself sometime!

I originally said the SW corner---sorry! It's
southeast.

the metal fence heats up and any thign seen in its back ground seems hazy to the convenction currents arising from the heated fence, naturally you would not be looking at the building at night ...

Hi. The eye can play tricks when the mind tries to interpret what it "sees". : http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/
