Photographer Kevin Wolf Flips Photo to Expose Illusion Hiding in Plain Sight

With only an easy flip of a photograph, the world can change. Sports activities filmmaker Kevin Wolf lately showcased this visible magic whereas having fun with the tranquil surroundings in California’s Yosemite Nationwide Park. He snapped an image of a stunning panorama that options the majestic mountains and golden forest because it’s completely mirrored into the encompassing lake. Although the sky is sort of cloudless, the sand beneath the water creates a darkish speckled-blue backdrop in its reflection. Does it appear to be something acquainted?

It’s this variation in water the place the phantasm takes place.

Because of its crisp reflection, the photograph appears to be like simply as plausible—and much more unbelievable— than it does right-side up.
