# Think about a telescope -
you have to have at least two lenses for the light to bounce off to turn it upside down.

Do I even know what I'm talking about?

# lenses are funny things
and work slightly differently from mirrors.

# Actually I've got it ..
it's to do with the plane the mirror is in - ie on a wall it reverses in the horizontal plane... lay it on the floor and it reverses in the vertical plane - which is why mountains look upside down when you see them reflected in a lake. That is all. Thank you.
