    Got some photos. Still unsure and don’t know why the word mirage is used.

      A mirage is an optical illusion, very commonly seen in the desert, and often portrayed as a wonderful water oasis when a person is dehydrated and lost. Of course, the band Oasis isn’t standing in the desert either, so it must be a mirage too.

      In the desert being starved and dehydrated, it’s not uncommon to hallucinate things like water and trees. They are called “Mirages”
