Interesting. That was part of the fisherman's story, the only part that I thought (sans research) sounded plausible at the time of writing. There goes that idea.
Wow, good observation. I didn't even notice that there was a problem with that one side. (Maybe I'm missing an eye too and I didn't notice that either.)
I didn't say the skyline is reflected. The skyline is in silhouette. A shadow of the buildings. But the sunlight on Lake Michigan creates a reflection enabling the camera to see the shadow. So this shot is of a reflection, thus it belongs in this group of photo captures of reflections.
