Caves/Visual illusion

I've been to lots of caves before, but what was really interesting about these ones (in Spain) was that in the heart of the cave, deep underground, there was a lake which was so still that it perfectly mirrored the cave above it, creating the illusion that in front of you was a treacherous drop. In fact it was just a shallow lake, but it was so eerie, and I think this idea of visual illusion could really be played with. It reminded me of Richard Wilson work with oil.
