I have captured this photograph of the orange moon reflected on the sea in Sitges, in Garraf, on a summer night where the moon column shines reflected in the waters of the Mediterranean, as we see in The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
The reflection of moonlight hitting the surface of the sea produces this optical effect on the water, where the moon leaves its trail of illumination.
The water undulated by the waves creates a simile with a large number of water mirrors with different orientations, which produce a multitude of reflected images.
Each wave provides a reflection of the moon. The closer to the horizon, the reflections of the moon on the water seem to be closer together, but as the light brushes the shore, you can see how the columns are established along the wave.
If the sea did not have the undulations caused by the constant movement of the water, we would observe the moon reflected in the water as a single image, as if it were a giant mirror reflecting our natural satellite.
Also, the lower the moon is and the less waves the sea has, the narrower the column of light will be.
