I am curious about a couple of things here. A: Why does this picture show the lake rising? B: Why can I see trees on the shore ~24 miles away? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pontchartrain_Causeway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lake_Pontchartrain_Causeway.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lake_Pontchartrain_Causeway_From_Three_Lakeway_Center.png https://i.ibb.co/KmPfRzY/Screenshot-from-2021-04-03-06-04-55.png

It's just under 24 miles. 24 miles = 284' below the horizon on the other side. Why can you see the shoreline and trees?
