Fish eye, another name for convex or diverging mirror, has a reflective surface that's buldging towards the light source. As a result of this, it has wider angle of view and is called fish-eye (because the eyes of a fish have wider angle of view). Fish-eye mirror also makes the objects it reflects look distorted, smaller, and farther than the actual distance.
Convex mirrors have a variety of uses. One of them is like the one in the picture. Installed at a blind corner or junction, it can help drivers see other vehicles coming from around the corner. This one is at the end of the housing block where I live.

An unusual shot, very good. It's always fun to see something new and creative.
Pretty sky shot, along with the convex mirror with the reflection of the building in it.
Lovely shot, thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day.
Nice photo. I like the composition of this photo to use the mirror to reflect on the surroundings.
Have a great weekend.
