This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds in the valley at the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and instead gives off some artificial lights which make town such as an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen out from the blanket. Amazingly, there isn't a lots of scientific research about how glasses can transform the way in which people see you -- instead of how they see what's facing them. But there's a high correlation with the Hollywood notion the fastest way to turn actors into giving the impression of scientists is always to make them wear a pair of not too flattering spectacles.
