My office in midtown Manhattan gets reflected sunlight off an adjacent tower in golden hour this time of year. When conditions are just right that system somehow forms a Schlieren imaging system [0] and the variations in air density outside the window is projected on the wall above my desk.
My cofounder's gotten used to me flicking the lights off every time I notice the light lining up the right way.
