Fata morgana is a form of mirage. The term is Italian but it's used in Poland and, perhaps, in other countries of this region to mean a mirage. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_%28mirage%29 _________________

I know what fata Morgana means but how is the title related to the photo? _________________ Hero in the 'messin-with-cameras-for-the-hell-of-it department'. Official. |

Maybe it's related to what I find to be the most interesting aspect of this image: How the sharp contrast between the hair and the face of the old man seems taken straight from a negative. The lighting on this photo is mesmerizing. O course, it's an illusion, hence, perhaps, the title. But who am I to say... _________________
