There was a pause of a few seconds, stretching to infinity, then the image on the screen rippled slightly.

His image jumped and rippled like the horizon on a hot day, and suddenly David understood the view.

He heard the click of controls and watched the screen as the image rippled, then shifted.

His image rippled as if he were standing behind a sheet of water.

As it gathered speed, the ship's image rippled and shimmered, then faded out of existence.

An image of the boat's sail rippled across his forearm.

His wife's image rippled, then vanished in wavelets of rolling light.

But the image still rippled and would not come into sharp focus.

Her image rippled, shook like a pool into which a stone had been dropped, and was gone.

The image on the screen rippled with diagonal lines.
