When appearances are deceiving: 11 bizarre photos that make one look twice
It can happen that you take a quick photo, wanting to immortalize a particular moment or scene, only to find a strange or bizarre snapshot has been taken: there are times, in fact, when one does not realize that the actual position of subjects in front of the lens.
Whether these optical illusions are intentional or accidental, tons of images like this are circulated on the internet, and many of them will make us smile. Here's a few below:
This looks like an overturned mug, but what we are looking at isn't actually the bottom of the mug: it's just a mug full of milk, filled to the brim.
At first glance, in this photo, we see shadows cast on the asphalt. But when looking closer, you realize that there are no trees or poles that can produce the shadows. It is, in fact, sand swept across the road in a truly spectacular way!
Camouflaging is an art: well, nature does it best! It seems that the leaves have erased these parked cars!
This is not an optical illusion, but a brilliant gimmick for those who don't want to give any creature comforts when eating in the car. Who knows if it really works?
How many times have you seen cats putting their muzzles into glasses (especially paper ones)? Certainly many times, but have you ever seen a cat that has grown a human nose?
This really looks like a mythological creature. Or some horrific creature from a film.
Imagine walking into a room and suddenly being afraid you're going to end up in a hole in the floor.
Just a little girl holding Hand from the Addams Family... by the hand.
You're walking down the street and you see a man with no head. Taken from this perspective, this photo of a man bending over to check his phone looks very spooky and unsettling!
Is this a person who is wearing two pairs of pants, and is taking one of them off? No, it's just the marks left on the skin by the jeans!
Another questionable choice for a place intended to welcome customers: this is the corridor of a hotel - certainly no friend of those who are returning to their room after one too many drinks.
Have you ever come across similar optical illusions?
