The origin of this image is unknown, although it is evidently not a photograph. Aside from the hazy and photoshopped appearance of this graphic, the following questions immediately emerge: 1) who is the photographer and what other works can we see from this person? 2) why is there only one image of this scene? If it were real, one would think it would be photographed from several locations and angles or at least that there would be more than one photo taken; 3) which "lake in Burma" is host to this miracle?; 4) it is implausible that such an image would be visible only once a year.
