Although I'm not surprised by many of these (having seen some of these feats of gravity myself in China), but I'm never unamazed.

That guy with the glass though. WTF? Is there someone else steering in front? That's a disaster waiting to happen.

I can't see the photographer reflected in the glass. Shouldn't I be able to?

I did think that was a little weird, but because the mirror is tipped forward just a little bit, I think it's possible that the photographer can be towards the right of the mirror and be cut off and hidden by the shadow. I don't know...I'll have to do some calculations to figure out the exact location of the photographer, and I don't have the focal length of the mirror. Actually, this would be the type of physics problem I *can* do...only if I had the focal length of the mirror and an estimate of the distance of the photographer from the mirror.

That is, I'll be able to estimate where the virtual image of the photographer would be if the mirror were larger.
