Our eyes allow us to see everything around us, but they can also be fooled into showing us something that doesn’t really exist. It’s not that our sight makes stuff up. In association with our brain, it’s capable of looking further and perceiving little details that aren’t really there, like faces, unusual animals, or landscapes, among other things. Sometimes, a second look is all we need to clear our confusion, but it also happens that we just accept what our vision offers.
Numerous users come across objects or natural scenes that create the impression of being something very different, so Bright Side picked the tricky ones to show that appearances can sometimes be really funny.
