These are willows reflected in the water. But count them. There are five large willows. But in the water, nine large willows are visible. Where have the other four willows gone?

The solution to this riddle is that I turned the photo upside down. This is how it normally looks. Of the nine willows, only five "make it" to the puddle. The other four are too far back for that. Jean-Luc Godard would say: Art is not the reflection of reality, it is the reality of that reflection.
