[A photograph taken in a two-mirror Schlieren system (with knife edge) shows an image of a candle’s flame and its reflection. Near the center of the image, surrounded by deep black space that both frames and touches its edge, a circular mirror sits behind a brightly burning candle. Both appear golden. The candle’s heat plume flow, typically invisible, is rendered twice: in both light and shadow that move upward in trailing lines and spill across the mirror’s concave surface. The image, though still, seems to ripple as if in movement.]
