15 photographs of things and phenomena that shamelessly deceive human vision, pretending to be something else (16 photos)

“There is deception all around!” - you will say after looking at our new selection about things and phenomena that will easily fool you. But it is not so.





It’s just that some cunning little things brazenly take advantage of your trust and require closer attention. That's all. Therefore, we wipe our eyes and get ready to watch a new post, which contains things that are seriously inclined to play tricks with your vision.

Lake Kakora, Australia



Tree of life? No, it’s a lake into which tea tree oil entered after a flood and filled the heterogeneous structure of the bottom. The result is a picturesque picture painted with the brushes of nature itself.

Mini version of the forest





These miniature forests are located in Tasmania, Australia and look like huge trees, but are only 20cm tall! They even have mini boulders, grass and lakes!

Fire fountain



The sunlight that shines through this fountain in L'Aquila, Italy, makes it look like it's pouring lava out of its bowl.

Tsunami clouds



Nature's eye



In the depths of the waters



In Limburg, Belgium, a bike path has been built that runs right through the waters of a large pond in the De Wijers nature reserve. Its length is 200 meters. A cyclist traveling along this road has the chance to “plunge headlong into a pond,” since the person’s face is flush with the surface of the water.

Fish eye on a stone? No, just frost formation



"Underwater City"



A curious reflection was photographed on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. Almost like a city under water.

The comments under the photo suggest that the photo deceiving our eyesight was taken through glass. This is justified by the fact that if you take a picture through a glass surface at a certain angle, you can achieve the effect of two objects being in the same space. That is, one reflection is superimposed on another.

Dead tree branch resembles a lion's head



The tree is not from our planet



This is a photo of a mushroom that was taken from below.

The shadow of the plant falls directly on my friend's car and creates the effect as if it were a decal.



Biomass resembles an oil slick



Either a rock or a giant stone tree, Egypt



Or maybe it's a giant chanterelle mushroom?

The leaves of the plant resemble folded hands in prayer.



lost World



Gnarled tree roots on North Carolina's Outer Banks look like lost souls rising from the depths of the waters.
