Strange Illusions That Have Us Doing Double Takes
Sometimes objects, people, and places have the ability to fool our eyes into thinking we're looking at something else. Whether it's a picture that sometimes looks like a rabbit and sometimes looks like a duck, or a series of stationary dots that look like they're moving, illusions have always fascinated us.
Keep reading to see a whole new set of illusions and objects that look like other things. Have you ever seen a camel on an apple? Or a cat that looks like it has no nose?
When The Plants Fight Back
This flower looks like it has teeth or something. Audrey 2, is that you?
Maybe this is Audrey 3. It's not quite a Venus fly trap but it's close enough.
A Lotion Cat
This person squirted some lotion on his hand and it came out looking like a little white kitty.
Sometimes even lotion can surprise us. The world works in mysterious ways.
A Natural Landscape Pattern
Nobody etched this landscape scene onto the side of this car.
The dust and water from the road just settled into this pattern naturally. It does look like somebody painted this though.
Elvis, Is That You?
The way that this cat is sitting on this Easter Island statue makes the statue look like it has Elvis's hair.
Elvis's hair was never this cute, though. This hair is adorable.
The Spirit Of Howard Stern
For some unexplainable reason, the shadow cast b this metal basket looks exactly like a ghostly impression of Howard Stern.
The resemblance is seriously uncanny. If you told me that this was actually Howard Stern's soul, I would believe you.
A Floating Car
This car isn't actually floating. The shadow of the car beside it makes it look like it's floating, though.
We did think that Elon Musk had gone an invented flying cars for a minute.
Is That A Ghost?
This person managed to capture an actual ghost on camera. Well, it may not be a ghost.
It could just be some rainbow lens flare. It does look rather divine.
A Short And Naked Charlie Brown
This person was wrapping a present with Charlie Brown wrapping paper when they perfectly lined up Charlie Brown's head with Snoopy's body.
They created a short and naked Charlie Brown with a tail...
A Forest Of Ice Crystals
This person found a sheet of ice with a bunch of elevated ice crystals on it.
This frozen sheet of water looks just like some kind of crystal forest. It's pretty magical.
Pretty Aluminum
What you're looking at in this photo is actually several rectangular tubes made out of aluminum sitting on a shelf.
The way the light is shining through them kind of makes them look like jars of honey.
What Does It Say?
It looks like this kitten has the word "no" written across his side. Do you want to pick him up?
Well, you're going to have to ask him. The answer is right there in orange and white.
A Camel On An Apple
This apple has a naturally occurring camel on the side of it for some strange reason.
I wonder if this apple tastes any different than a normal apple. Maybe it's juicier because it's storing water in that hump.
What Color Is This Shirt?
This sweater looks very different depending on the kind of light that it's in.
You're actually looking at two photos of the same sweater, and no, it hasn't been dyed.
A Grinch Cat
The reflection in this window lined up perfectly with this cat's face.
Now he kind of looks like the cat who stole Christmas. I bet he's knocked over so many Christmas trees.
The Bulls Logo Upside Down
Is it just me or does the Bulls logo look like some kind of robot DJ when you look at it upside down?
I don't know if I'm going to be able to un-see this.
A Grinch Shadow
The way the snow melted into the concrete in this photo looks a lot like it's the Grinch's shadow.
It does seem like this photo was taken around Christmas time.
Jabba Became A Sidewalk
The cracks in this sidewalk look a lot like Jabba the Hutt. It might be time to re-pave this area.
That many cracks mean that there are probably some structural problems going on here.
Chewbacca's Profile
We're back at it again with another Star Wars illusion.
The way that this cat is curled up on this office chair kind of makes him look like Chewbacca's side profile.
A Baby In The Paint Bottle
This person was just minding her own business, making a painting with a tube of red paint.
Then, somehow, she managed to squeeze a baby's face out of the tube.
Perfectly Lined Up Bubbles
Isn't science amazing? The attractive forces between these bubbles are pulling them together and making them line up perfectly.
It's so satisfying to look at. I feel like taking a bath right now, actually.
An Icy Roof
The way the rainwater solidified on this roof in the winter makes it look like there's another tree stretched out across the shingles.
The water must have frozen as it was sliding down the slope of the roof.
That's Not Fish
Your eyes are telling you that you're looking at chunks of fresh fish just ready to be devoured or turned into sushi.
In reality, you're looking at cubes of Turkish delight before they get covered with powdered sugar.
An Upside Down Face
This guy has another face at the top of his head— or at least, that's what it looks like.
The wrinkles on his forehead look like a mouth, his eyebrows look like a mustache, and his hair looks like a beard.
Swab The Deck
Believe it or not, you're not looking at two photos placed next to each other.
This is a single photo of a man cleaning the deck of a ship taken from above.
An American Egg
This person just wanted to make a fried egg for breakfast but they ended up making a very delicious map of the United States of America.
Sometimes these things just happen.
Where Is His Nose?
This cat actually does have a nose. You can see it if you look really closely.
His nose is just the same color as the rest of his face so it blends in really well.
Going For A Ride
The angle and perspective of this photo make it look like the guy sitting behind this group of ladies is actually a tiny man who is riding the back of the lady in front of him.
At least everyone looks like they're having a good time.
I Spy A Goose
It looks like the piece of metal that holds the wheel of this hospital cart in place is some kind of goose or duck.
I'm not sure if that was done on purpose...
Light Pillars On A Snowy Day
Normally you can't see beams of light shooting straight up in the air, but on this particular day, it was snowing quite heavily.
So the light from the city was able to bounce off of the falling ice crystals.
A Secret Spy
It looks like there's some kind of cartoon spy sneaking around the corner of this bedroom.
Really, it's just a shadow created by a cardboard box and some other knick-knacks.
