23 Optical Illusion-esque Photos of Things Look Like Something Else
You've probably heard of the Rorschach inkblot test, where a person is shown a random image created by an inkblot, and asked what they see. The human mind has the ability to make connections from seemingly random images, and see things that aren't actually there. We do this all the time with clouds, shadows, and even people. When we see something that looks like something else we'll often double take, unsure how to process what our brains think they just saw. Here are 24 photos that look like something else, and might make you double take.
For example, one photo shows the Wushan airport in Chongqing, China, from above. It is a single runway airport on the top of a large hill, with ridges surrounding it. From above, it bears a striking resemblance to the decks of a cruise ship, and you could be forgiven for mistaking the flowing forrest around it for a rough sea. I know that planes have to be able to hit the runway every time no matter what, but boy there isn't much room for error here.
Check out that awesome photo, and plenty of other cheeky pics that really look like something else.
