Real picture taken atop the Los Angeles Wilshire Grand Tower

Here's an even scarier photo of the above one

Wingardium Leviosa

Aurora Borealis over the mountain

Though it looks like a screen glitch, this is actually an intricately-carved wooden cabinet by designer Ferruccio Laviani

This is just an incredibly well-timed photo of a geyser in Strokkur, Iceland, taken right as the geyser is about to erupt.

A plethora of sheep. It's real tho

Picture of a rainbow laser. That’s right. A rainbow Laser

Scaly Icebergs of Antartica

Tulip field in Holland

This photo shows a spectrum of colors from flower bulb fields near Lisse, Netherlands in 2007

A tourist taking photos in London's Trafalgar Square was aligned perfectly near a fountain

The above two photos are frozen bubbles in Canadian lakes

Long exposure of a plane taking off from a runway

Cherries under the water

A beach with sinusoidal waves

Christ the Redeemer with an airplane doppelganger

Modern dykes, windmills and highways in the Netherlands

Above and below the water. It's real, folks

The road that separates New York from, well, New York

These tree-climbing goats are actually real: they climb the Argan trees of Morocco in search of food, which is otherwise sparse in the region

Pool during a flood that just narrowly avoided being contaminated

An Italian beach

People created this gravity-defying art form called “rock balancing”

Tennis match - Andre Agassi vs Roger Federer at Burj-al-Arab-hotel. It really happened in

Here's a photo of the hotel where the tennis match was shot. The court was created on the hotel's helicopter landing thingy.

The Invisible Hockey Player. Not Photoshopped, just remarkable timing

Not Photoshopped. This look is called the ‘desaturated Santa’, and the effect is created by hours of painstakingly applied makeup. The costume was debuted at the 2009 San Francisco SantaCon

This looks like an intricate painting of some wintry forest, it’s actually just an aerial photo of a dried-out Mexican riverbed from National Geographic

Looks fake but it’s actually a piece of construction art by artist Dean Ruck. The intensely ambitious project was created outside a Texan house that was due to be demolished.

Here's a close-up shot of the weird house photo

Going to Hell, anyone?

This hellish image is of a decorated subway station in Stockholm, Sweden. The natural bedrock has been painted to resemble the underworld.

It looks like it could be the legendary sea monster the Kraken … but it's really just an actual photo of some seaweed in the waves taken at New England’s Innsmouth Beach. I love to surf but I think even I would take a pass here.

Japanese Snow Walls - Known as the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, this famous sightseeing path stretches 500 metres. It takes three very expensive days to carve out these perfect lanes

This looks like a digital image shading exercise, but it’s actually the astounding aftermath of a deadly toxic sludge spill in Hungary

This is a real photo of a shark eating a dogfish which had initially eaten a baitfish which had been put out by the people on the boat to attracted tagged sharks.

Totally looks Photoshopped but it's an actual photo of a floppy-eared monstrosity that is a German breed of rabbit known as a Giant Grey

In ~2010 it was found that a Chinese boy had been born with a total of 31 digits (fingers & toes) He has since had surgery to remove the extra appendages.

Everyone thought this was a painting but this is actually a photo of trees in the Namibian desert taken at twilight. The orange in the background is sand dune.

Here is a different shot of a similar set-up to the one above. This one looks more real but you can see how the one above could actually exist.

This is not a joke nor is it Photoshopped. There really is an 85-tool Swiss Army knife.

That first photo tho

So, those are just some random seaweeds on the coast of Innsmouth? I'm not really convinced they aren't shoggoths.

The rainbow laser originated in 1973. It was caused by a giant triangular prism. Light entered the prism, and a rainbow laser shot out.
