16 unique photographs in which things seem somehow unreal (17 photos)
The world is full of surprises, and the unexpected is often right under our noses.
Have you ever witnessed something that left you in awe and wonder? The world is full of mysteries and strange occurrences that can make us doubt the reality of what we see. From mysterious lights in the sky to unexplained patterns in nature, there is always something to surprise in our lives.
“The way the sunlight reflects off my vase, making it look like it’s smoking.”
Equally interesting is that the two-dimensional reflection of light from the vase creates the appearance of three-dimensional smoke. It would be interesting to see how the pattern on the wall would change as the vase moved.
“There are Chinese characters on the skin of my apple.”
There is no magic, this is done using stickers. Where sunlight hits the apple, it is red, but where it was covered with a sticker, it remains light yellow. By the way, on the apple is written: “We wish you wealth and prosperity,” which is a common greeting for the Chinese New Year. In China, during Lunar New Year celebrations, people do not say “Happy New Year!”, but instead wish each other wealth.
Surreal UFO-like cloud spotted in Turkey
This cloud also resembles a cinnamon bun. In the photo you can see a rather rare natural phenomenon called a lenticular cloud.
“When I heat up the coffee in this mug, it comes out of the handle.”
The glaze on this ceramic mug had cracked due to regular thermal expansion, causing the drink to seep through cracks inside the mug and out onto the outside of the handle area. Of course, the quality of the ceramics itself is let down, because high-quality ceramics should not be porous. Double disadvantage: you lose coffee and get your hands dirty.
Armor of Henry VIII at the Tower of London
This armor is also called Greenwich armor. Such armor was produced in the 16th century in Greenwich, England, imported by German armorers. Apart from conforming to fashion trends, the “accessory” at the bottom of the cuirass no longer carried any functions. Historians believe that it was something like a “man's bra.”
“This is just false advertising!” they joked in the comments.
“My son and I have two moles on our hands in the same place.”
Better than any DNA test. It is reported that recurrence of moles can occur across generations, for example, a grandfather and grandson have a mole in the same place, but the son does not.
“My mother and I have a mole on our butts in the same place. She really cared about making sure all kinds of people knew about this fact when I was growing up, it was just fantastic,” one commenter shared a funny story.
Static electricity in action
A fluffy ball that apparently loves to run around on the sofa. If something like this happens to you on the street, we highly recommend that you seek shelter as soon as possible, since such a phenomenon means that lightning will strike the place where you are very soon.
“In this Japanese restaurant, next to one of the urinals there is a wax figure of a samurai.”
Just imagine walking into this toilet in a not entirely sober state... Well, at least he's not looking at the bottom of the adjacent urinal with an appraising look. The author of the photo said that he met this guy in the toilet of the Ivy Asia restaurant, located in the London borough of Chelsea, UK.
“I'm in a building where there's a hole that goes through all the floors.”
