Unless you see it with your own eyes, it’s hard to trust anything these days!
Especially with photos, we’re left wondering if what we’re seeing is real or a clever fake.
So, here are 10 photos that’ll leave you stunned. They look totally fake, but they’re 100% real!
#1 The Chinese Fishermen
Looks like an oil painting, right? Think again. This is a real photo of two men fishing in Lake Chaohu, China. The lake is filled with algae, which makes the water look like painted strokes where one man’s paddle ripples.
#2 The Floating Grass Illusion
Take a second look. This is real, even if your mind says otherwise. Near Paris, this patch of grass looks like a round balloon, but it’s actually flat! Seriously, look again.
#3 The Black-and-White Santa
Photoshop? Nope! This woman used makeup and painted her coat to create a black-and-white effect. For proof, look closely at her neck, where some makeup has rubbed off.
#4 The Charred Electric Pole
It looks drawn, but it’s a real electric pole in Russia. Damaged by fire, the pole now stands, held up by the power lines that still keep the electricity running.
#5 The Cliffside Cruise Ship
Photoshop wizardry? Not at all. This luxury hotel in South Korea is built right on a cliff to look like a cruise ship. Quite the view!
#6 “Sea Monsters” on the Beach
Imagine seeing this on the shore! It’s real, but these aren’t monsters. They’re transparent algae that look strange when the waves hit the sand.
#7 The Crooked Forest
This forest is full of oddly bent trees. Cool, right? You’ll find it in West Pomerania, Poland.
#8 The Floating Ship
Seen a boat “float” on crystal-clear water? This one does, thanks to water so clear it makes the boat look like it’s hovering!
#9 The Sinkhole
It looks like an art piece, but this sinkhole is real. Found in Guatemala City, it first appeared in 2010. It’s 60 feet wide and 200 feet deep!
#10 The Australian Sandstorm
This looks like a wave of beer foam, but it’s actually a sandstorm. Imagine how Australians felt seeing this massive storm roll in!
Each of these photos plays with your mind—seeing is believing, but only if you look closely!
