If you stand on top of Mt. Diablo you can sometimes see Mt. Shasta. This is not supposed to be possible due to the curvature of the earth. But sometimes is possible, as temperature inversions (my assumption) cause the light to refract around the corner enough for a view. This has happened more than once.
